The Producers
Mutitu factory was started in 1963 and it lies on the southern slopes of Mount Kenya, in the Kirinyaga region. The mill is used by small-hold farmers in the area. This and the adjacent
regions are the premier coffee areas in Kenya, and the coffees from here are consistently among the best in the world
Mutitu factory is located in Kathekiini location, in Kirinyaga county. There are 1,250 members who deliver coffee cherries to the Mutitu factory who each have on average
around ½ acre of land with roughly 200 trees for coffee growing alongside macadamia, beans and corn.
In line with the rising awareness on the need to conserve the environment, the factory has dug the waste water soak pits away from the water source where the waste water is allowed to
soak in back to the soil. Additionally the society encourages its members to plant trees on their farms.
