The Kibirigwi Kiangai washing station or factory was created in 1953, at the same time the group of farmers decided to establish the the Kibirigwi Farmers Coop Society.
At this point in time the Kibirigwi Coop is affiliated Kirinyaga County Coop Union and operates eight factories all together. The water used for the processing comes from the Kibirigwi river, hence the name, which is 50m from the factory. The cherries are sorted and floated before being pulped to separate any split, under and over ripe from the individual deliveries. The parchment is then fermented overnight, before being washed and graded into P1, P2, P3, P lights and pods. After the grading, it is dried on the drying tables for 8-14 days.
In order to educate their members to Good Agricultural Practices (GAPS) the society has employed an agronomist to work in the field and carry out one to one training as well as group session throughout the harvest and during the off season.
The Coop also produce over 200,000 seedlings to be distribute amongst members every year free of charge to promote crop regeneration as well as distribute manure to promote organic fertilisation techniques.
All the fermentation tanks as well as the washing channels have been tiled to improved the overall quality of the coffees and the cleaning and maintenance of the facilities
