Farming in Yirgacheffe remains largely traditional. Farmers in Yirgacheffe typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops. This method is common among smallholder farmers because it maximizes land use and provides food for their families. In addition to remaining traditionally mixed, most farms are also traditional and organic by default. Farmers in Yirgacheffe typically use very little – if any – fertilizer or pesticides. Most agricultural work is done by hand, and very little is mechanized, including during processing.
