We had an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Our driver picked us up right on time and the ride was very pleasant. Upon arrival at the plantation, we received a warm and heartfelt welcome from the owner and her team, which immediately made us feel at home. After enjoying a welcome drink, we had the unique opportunity to plant our very own coffee tree, which will begin to bear fruit in about three years. We then picked ripe red coffee cherries and learned so much about the coffee plant and its fruits. Later, we roasted the dried beans over the fire and ground them ourselves – such a fun and authentic process! After that we were brewing and enjoying our very own coffee, accompanied by some delicious local snacks. Throughout the visit, the entire team was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer all our questions and share their passion for coffee. We truly enjoyed every single minute of this unforgettable experience and left with a deep appreciation for the effort and love that goes into coffee production. This was a one-of-a-kind experience, and we can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Yogyakarta!

An absolutely worthwhile tour! The entire team was incredibly friendly and explained everything with great expertise. They patiently answered all our many questions. We not only learned a lot about coffee, but also discovered fascinating facts about vanilla, other fruits, and harvesting. For us, it was one of the highlights of our holiday!

We loved our experience from start to finish, it was super convenient being picked up and dropped off by our accommodation. When we arrived there was welcome drinks and a friendly welcome. They explained there would be a translator helping us there to explain what we are doing and to also answer our questions. We got first hands experience at picking and identifying ripe coffee cherries, we were shown both Arabica and Robusta plants (they farmed robusta here). Including using a handmade basket and talked through the picking process. We got to see some of the sorting process and the traditional roasting and grinding process, again getting hands on experience with both. It was very educational and fun to be a part of it. We even got to brew and taste our coffee at the end with some traditional Indonesian snacks. We also hiked a steep hill (very short but steep) to plant a coffee plant each, where we got our picture taken and named the two trees. The coffee was delicious and I was very happy to be a part of this experience. A big thank you to Reni Andre, Intan Kusuma and Mbak Mar

These crops are grown to meet the country's food demands as well as for export purposes.

How do local farms in Indonesia contribute to the country's economy?

Local farms play a vital role in Indonesia's economy. They provide employment opportunities, particularly in rural areas, stimulating economic growth. Additionally, local farms contribute to the country's food security by ensuring a stable supply of crops. The agricultural sector also generates income through the export of various agricultural products, such as coffee, spices, and tropical fruits.

What are the challenges faced by local farmers in Indonesia?

Local farmers in Indonesia encounter several challenges, including limited access to capital and agricultural technologies, inadequate irrigation systems, unpredictable weather patterns leading to crop failures, pests and diseases affecting crops, and competition from imported agricultural products. Additionally, the fragmentation of land holdings and the lack of knowledge about modern farming practices pose significant obstacles for local farmers.

How are local farms in Indonesia embracing sustainable agriculture?

Local farms in Indonesia are increasingly adopting sustainable agricultural practices. They are implementing organic farming methods, reducing the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, promoting crop rotation and agroforestry, and investing in renewable energy sources. Additionally, some local farms practice water conservation techniques and adopt efficient irrigation systems to minimize water wastage.
