Quirky - Producer Info

The women behind Quirky aren’t just coffee farmers—they’re change-makers. In Uganda, women perform up to 70% of the manual labor on coffee farms yet have historically had limited access to decision-making, financial resources, and leadership roles. Mountain Harvest launched a Gender Inclusion Strategy to challenge this imbalance, investing in women’s leadership, training programs, and microfinance initiatives that allow these farmers to take control of their futures.

The results speak for themselves: since 2017, the number of women farmers with certification has grown from 13% to 39%, and women’s leadership within Mountain Harvest’s management has increased from 14% to 57%. Women now have access to microloans, savings groups, and agricultural training that fits into their daily lives. This investment doesn’t just benefit them—it improves farm productivity, coffee quality, and the entire community’s well-being.

These women take pride in their work, and it shows in every cup of Quirky. When you drink this coffee, you’re not just enjoying a phenomenal brew—you’re supporting a movement that values and uplifts women in coffee.
