Tesfaye is the founder and owner of the Suke Quto farm and washing and drying station. The farm not only produces coffee but Tesfaye works together with 171 outgrowers that deliver cherries to the station for processing. The farm and station employs local residents from the surrounding Kumure and Suke villages. The livelihoods of many people who work here rely on coffee production, therefore the future of this wonderful coffee lies with them. Trabocca have set up the Suke Quto School Project together with Tesfaye with the goal to build fully equipped schools for the local children.

Suke Quto Farm is stretched out over the highlands and valleys of the Odo Shakisso Woreda. The volcanic soil found on the farm is very fertile. Tesfaye keeps the soil in shape by organic recycling through litterfall, root residue from coffee and shade trees.
