Nestled between Mt. Kenya to the northeast and the Aberdare ridges to the west lies the Thiriku Coffee Factory in Nyeri, Kenya. The factory (mill) belongs to the Thiriku Coffee Growers Cooperative Society, and is managed by nine democratically elected board members who ensure that member farmers receive needed advances for school fees, farm improvements, and emergencies. The Thiriku Coffee Growers Cooperative is Rainforest Alliance Certified and each smallholder has about 200 trees on their farm.
