Admasu Duke comes from a lineage of coffee farmers. He inherited his farm from his father in 2000 and has been focused on high-quality production ever since. Today, Admasu and his five brothers continue the family tradition of quality-oriented cultivation and each tend to their own inherited plots. On the farm, as in life, Admasu works alongside his wife, Mihret Alemu.

Admasu’s vision for the future of his farm reflects his unwavering dedication to his craft and his commitment to providing exceptional coffee. With his sustainable practices, generational expertise, and bold aspirations, Admasu is poised to carve a path of success and growth for his farm, ensuring a prosperous future for himself and the generations to come.

Admasu understands the importance of nurturing the land for future generations and embraces sustainable agricultural methods as a way to achieve this goal. He takes great pride in maintaining an organic farming approach and using no fertilizers or pesticides on his land. As part of his regenerative farming practices, he actively engages in activities including mulching, pruning, composting and planting shade trees. These practices, honed through participation in the Lalissa Farmer Field School, contribute to the overall health and resilience of his farm ecosystem.

Since the farm is small, most work is done by Admasu and Mihret. During the harvest, they hire seasonal laborers from the local community to help with selective handpicking. They process cherry on their farm. After selective handpicking, they lay ripe, red cherry on raised beds to dry. They rake cherry frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks for cherry to dry.
