BEKELE KACHARA
Bekele Kachara and his son Belay farm and process coffee on their family land at Murago, in Ethiopia's Sidama region.
BEKELE KACHARA
Bekele Kachara has spent over two decades growing coffee in Bensa, Ethiopia’s Sidama region. Before farming his own land, he learned the trade at local washing stations and businesses across Bensa and Bona. Today, he farms 10 hectares across several plots with his wife, Abinet Mekonnen. Four of their thirteen children are involved in the family business, including their son Belay, who leads processing and experiments with new methods at Murago. Bekele picks only ripe cherries and manages the drying himself, always looking for ways to improve the cup. His coffee once placed 14th at the Cup of Excellence, scoring 89 points. We met Bekele during a trip through Sidama and have been buying his coffee since.
