The Coffee Producer Toolkit #1: Farming
Welcome to The Coffee Producer Toolkit, a series made in collaboration with James Harper.
This series will help you understand coffee farming better than most professionals you'll meet at a trade show.
Each episode takes one part of the farming business — agronomy, processing, fermentation, storage, quality, sales — and lays out what the best farms are actually doing.
In this first episode, we cover the fundamentals of what makes a coffee farm viable. We look at how farms measure success and why so few know whether they're actually profitable.
