Clifton Coffee Roasters: Malawi, Sable Farm, Washed

The consistently outstanding coffee coming out of Sable Farms is the result of a foundational belief: invest in the farming practices that support the farm.

Southern Malawi, landlocked and hampered by a lack of infrastructure, is not an easy place to grow coffee. But these farmers pour their efforts into using their limited resources with a thoughtfulness that’s brought healthy growth and a global reputation.

On an ecological level, Sable farms use drip irrigation systems, solar-powered coffee dryers and they compost the cherries after they’ve been pulped.

On a social level, Sable Farms provides health insurance for workers and their families. They have also built a school on their Ngapani Coffee estate in the Mangochi District.
