Gichathaini is one of three factories (aka washing stations) that together form the Gikanda Farmers’ cooperative society. The factory itself is owned by the coffee farmers who deliver cherries to the station. There are currently 897 members, of which roughly 770 are active and sell their coffees through the factory. The washing station is located to the east of Mt Kenya, with abundant rainfall year-round the conditions are ideal for growing coffee.
