Having grown up as a member of a prominent coffee-farming family, Faustin Ribalimana has over four decades of experience and expertise in growing coffee. he inherited his first plot of land from his parents and eventually expanded the number of coffee trees he cares for to another, separate property. Together with his wife, Judith Kankera, he established his home here and eventually raised six children. A quiet and methodical man, Faustin is meticulous in his practices, which he learned from Dukunde Kawa's team of agronomists. All trees are planted 1.5 x 2.2m apart, to maximise the number he can fit on the property.
