Rutuma Farmers Cooperative Society operates several factories on and around the southern slopes of Mt. Kenya, including the Ruthagati factory. Most of the farmer members grow SL-28 and SL-34 varieties in rich volcanic soil. Coffee is delivered fresh directly after being harvested, and is depulped before being fermented (typically overnight) and washed using fresh water from the Keremia streams. THe coffee is dried on raised beds under full sun, turned and sorted constantly during the drying process for quality.
