Habil Olakes moved his family out to Western Kenya to get away from the city, and back to his roots. They started farming corn and chickens, flowers and honey. They kept the latter two, but turned their focus to producing coffee after hearing the enthusiasm of a friend and neighbor of theirs—Stephen Nendela of Muinami Estate who you might recognize from Juice Bomb and other bags ; )
