We plant native rainforest trees alongside our coffee. Vaida is a farmer who started as a rainforest reforestation volunteer and helped shape the Gorongosa Coffee Project. She runs the rainforest tree nursery at the top of Mount Gorongosa’s waterfall and is responsible for more than 200,000 seedlings.

As they grow, these trees provide much-needed shade for our Arabica coffee plants. Together, coffee and reforestation projects create jobs for local farmers like Vaida, provide then with sustainable incomes, and support the ecosystem they call home.
