The Kangocho washing station, affiliated to Gikanda FCS, is located along the Nairobi-Nyeri highway, just 5 km from the town of Karatina on the fertile foothills of Mt. Kenya and the Aberdare range. This washing station is entirely owned by coffee growing members and overseen by an elected representative council. Being on the slopes of the Mount Kenya, the soil is rich in minerals, coupled with consistent annual rainfall, creating ideal conditions for cultivation.
