Farm details

Town: Bait AL Qanees
Location: HARAZ

Producer Story:

Situated at 2000 meters above sea level, Mohamed Ali Moh. Al Suhami’s farm is one of the highest in the region. Thanks to the help of the terroir, and his family, Mohamed, aged 46, can maintain his profession as a teacher, and still produce some of the best coffees the region has to offer.

Located in the town of Bait AL Qanees, Haraz, Sana’a Governorate, coffee is the primary crop for Mohamed’s modest farm, alongside a selection of vegetables grown for his kitchen. As coffee is Mohamed’s primary crop, Mohamed and his teenage children work hard to maintain the health of their coffee trees, to improve yields and the optimum quality of their crop. Mohamed’s family are assisted by an ox and two cows, enabling him to plough, and to provide plentiful organic fertiliser.
