  1. I am a coffee farmer based in Kenya. Currently, I am training other farmers in Kenya on best farm practice and linking them to the market.

    For me…coffee is life and writing gives me satisfaction. I would love to work for #baristamagazine. I would be glad to have you read my articles on coffee. Regards
