Bekele Kachara has been dedicated to coffee cultivation for over two decades, managing several farms in the Bensa area of the Sidamo region. His dedication to quality is evident in the quality of the coffee he grows on his small plot near the village of Murago. Together with his wife, Abinet, Bekele raises thirteen children, with four of them already involved in the family’s coffee production.

Bekele has a meticulous approach to coffee farming, cultivating several native varietals of coffee in harmony with the forest cover. He uses shaded drying beds he has built on the farm, allowing him to process his own coffee, although so far only naturals.
