On the sacred slopes of Mt. Apo

the highest peak in the Philippines—nearly 200 smallholder farmers work together to grow coffee with care. Most belong to the Lumad tribes, and in 2013, they formed a cooperative to bring structure, training, and shared resources to their work. That group is now known as BACOFA.

Since then, their coffees have gained national recognition, with several members consistently winning quality awards. The bar is high: to join, each farmer needs at least 50 trees, regular attendance at meetings, and a shared contribution to the coop’s growth. In return, they gain access to training, post-harvest support, and a shared processing center with raised drying beds, de-pulpers, and hullers.

BACOFA Coffee Cooperative

Coffee sorting is done mostly by women, whose attention to detail ensures only the best beans make it through. These roles—often overlooked—have become essential sources of income and empowerment in the community. The coop has created jobs, revitalized rural life, and given farmers a way to stay rooted in their land rather than seeking work elsewhere.

This is coffee grown with intention—from the heart of Mt. Apo. Every cup reflects the strength of the community behind it.
