Over 300 farmers deliver cherries to the Aricha washing station grown in the surrounding area. Farming methods in the region remain largely traditional. Yirgacheffe farmers typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops. This method is common among smallholders because it maximises land use and provides food for their families.

In addition to remaining traditionally intercropped, most farmers are also organic-by-default. Farmers in Yirgacheffe typically use very few – if any – fertilizers or pesticides.
