The Story of Gakuyu-ini Coffee Factory
Gakuy-ini is the Thirikwa Farmers Cooperative Society's (FCS) sole wet mill. Smallholder producers delivering to the mill hail from the surrounding villages of Githiru, Gituba and Mukure, and their small farms (most of which are farmed as mixed use, with a blend of coffee trees – on average around 200-250 trees – and food crops) dot the southern slopes of Mt Kenya.
