01 — ORIGIN

A co-op, a mill, and the farms on this ridge.

Excelsa is a farm co-op and a processing and milling operation in Misamis Oriental, northern Mindanao. Member farms grow coffea liberica and its excelsa variety, which has been farmed on this ridge for generations under a canopy of fruit and hardwood.

We are not a trading desk. We farm, we process, we mill and we ship — one origin, one lot code, nothing blended in from elsewhere. What we are building is an intercropped, regenerative, organic model: coffee under existing canopy, grown alongside other crops, on soil the farming improves rather than strips.

06 — FARMER IMPACT

What member farms are paid, and why.

$A refractometer reading taken on fresh cherry$

Liberica and excelsa were pushed aside because the market paid for arabica. Cherry is paid on quality rather than commodity index, and every farm in the co-op gets the same rate sheet before the season opens.

Quality-linked pricing

Premiums on ripeness and defect count, agreed with each member farm before the season starts.

Seedlings and pruning support

Nursery stock and field training for farms rehabilitating old liberica trees.

Shade-grown by default

Coffee under existing canopy — no clearing, and a second income from the same land.
