Equipped with a larger pulper and over 600 raised drying beds, Sasaba processes coffee received from over 500 smallholders, working in the hills surrounding the wet mill. The Sasaba smallholders are a mix of Gedeo and Guji farmers, many of whom have lived here for generations. Their coffee grows on the hills around Sasaba, shaded by a mix of existing forest trees and those planted by the farmers, such as enset (false banana) trees.
