Story
Established in 2014, Halo Bertiti (also Bertity) Washing Station serves 750 smallholder producers in the Gedeb ‘woreda’ (district) of Guji, Ethiopia. Each of these smallholder producers, also referred to as ‘Garden farmers’, own small plots of land on which they harvest micro plantations of coffee trees. After harvesting, they deliver their coffees to Halo Bertiti, which sorts and processes the coffee as a unified lot.
Many of these smallholder producers are associated with METAD Agricultural Development, a third generation family-owned business. Committed to responsible stewardship of Ethiopia’s lands and people in the community, METAD has strengthened the local Gedeb community with employment opportunities, including a workforce that is over seventy percent women.

Origin
Gedeb, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia
Despite being known as the origin of all coffee, Ethiopia has only recently undergone a number of administrative and developmental changes to improve and heighten its coffee industry. This has included changes to the laws for classifying and selling coffee, and more recently, a number of changes to borders and regional zones.
Districts of Ethiopia, known as ‘woredas’ are the third-level of the administrative divisions of Ethiopia – after zones and the regional states. These districts are further subdivided into a number of wards called ‘kebele’ neighbourhood associations, which are the smallest unit of local government in Ethiopia.
Districts are typically collected together into zones, which form a region; districts which are not part of a zone are designated Special Districts and function as autonomous entities. Districts are governed by a council whose members are directly elected to represent each kebele in the district.
Gedeb is one of the woredas in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia, named after its major town, Gedeb. Part of the Gedeo Zone, Gedeb is bordered on the east and south by the Oromia Region, on the west by Kochere, on the northwest by Yirgachefe, and on the north by Bule.
