The translation of "kayon" means "goal". This is a beautiful mantra made by the farm owner to take care of and handle the coffee with all his heart and love. Workers on farms use large-scale pruning, and unlike the average coffee farmer, they use half of the land to plant shade trees, which is rare in Ethiopia. Most of the coffee trees here are wild. Kayong Mountain Farm has its own washing station, so it can directly export raw coffee beans and allow them to monitor every detail of coffee processing. You can taste the fragrance of beautiful flowers in the cup, and the beautiful coffee flavor presented in the cup fully proves the farm owner's dedication and determination to the coffee.

Kayong Mountain Farm is located in the Oromia area of the Guji producing area in southern Ethiopia, and "Kayon" means target.

In the past, Guji was listed as the producing area of Sidamo, but although the shape of Guji coffee beans is similar to Sidamo, it has its own unique style. After years of debate, the Ethiopian government has granted Guji producing areas a unique geographical distinction.

In 2015, Kayong Mountain Farm had its own washing station and dry sheller, so they could export coffee. Such coffee from a single farm is rare in Ethiopia.

The Kayong Mountain Farm covers an area of about 240 hectares and uses natural shade, covering more than half of the shade area. Animal manure is the main source of fertilizer.

The harvest season is from October to January of the following year, when Ato employs more than 300 farmers to help with the harvest and processing. Kayong Mountain has 25 long-term employees.

Ato pays more for his workers so that people are happy to work with him every year.
