coffee farmer

Arabica plantation worker

A coffee farmer is a person who cultivates coffee plants for commercial harvest.

The term encompasses operations of vastly different scales—from smallholders tending a few acres in mountainous regions of Ethiopia or Colombia to owners of large plantations.

Coffee farming involves managing the plants through a multi-year cycle before first harvest, then picking, processing, and drying the beans: The coffee farmer walked us through the wet processing method.
