Shanteweyne

Since the 1990s, Meselech Tube has been a coffee farmer in Sidamo Bensa Daye. She inherited the Shantaweyne Farm from her family and now, with the profits from her coffee business, she supports her six children. Three of her grown children also work with her on the farm.

Meselech's ultimate goal is to make her coffee renowned worldwide. To achieve this, she invests in high-quality cultivation and processing, and hopes buyers will recognize her commitment to improving yields and quality. For instance, Meselech intercrops coffee trees with banana, avocado, and mango trees, as well as timber tree and enset (false banana), and repurposes livestock by-products as fertilizer. Meselech has developed a unique and sustainable approach to farming.
