Small Lot Farmers

The Small Lot Farmers collective sources coffee from two distinct origins: Ethiopia and Nicaragua. Their Ethiopian production is concentrated in the Sidama and Yirgacheffe regions, while their Nicaraguan lots originate from Nueva Segovia. These coffees are cultivated at altitudes ranging from 1400 to 2200 meters above sea level.

The varietal profile of these lots includes heirloom varieties in Ethiopia, alongside typica and bourbon cultivars in Nicaragua. The processing methods utilized across these lots are primarily focused on traditional techniques, with two lots processed as washed and one lot processed as a natural.

The current catalog footprint for Small Lot Farmers includes three distinct coffees, all of which are currently in stock. These lots are carried by a single roaster, Five Senses Coffee. The average Northscore across these three offerings is 70.5.

Recent catalog entries include the Ardi, a natural-process heirloom from Ethiopia; La Florencia Espresso, a washed-process blend of typica and bourbon from Nicaragua; and YirgZero, a washed-process heirloom from Ethiopia. All three of these recent lots are featured by Five Senses Coffee.

The work of Small Lot Farmers is characterized by a focus on traditional processing methods and a diverse varietal selection across two continents.
