The farm

Moses Kamura Nganga owns three separate plots of land in the hills around his father’s farm. Each plot is around 1-2 acres and the terrain is extremely steep. The name Gifted was a result of amatutu (a minibus or similar vehicle used as a taxi) which he received from the father, he called that minibus Gifted so when his father gave hive him the farm he decided to use the same name Gifted for the farm.

The farm is 60km north of Nairobi along Ruiru Kiganjo road. Initially the farmer was delivering coffee to Kimaratia Factory, but he started pulping his own coffee around 2011 alongside his two brothers who also have farms in the same area. Main flowering is January-February and fry crop flowering is October-November. The Coffee is pulped at the washing station at the family home, which is central to the three brother’s farms, and is then fermented overnight to breakdown the sugar before it is cleaned and washed in channels. Parchment is then spread out on raised drying tables. Drying times depend on climate and ambient temperature, but the process can take up to three weeks. At night and during very hot periods, parchment is covered by shade cloth to avoid being affected by humidity and extreme heat.
