Hadeso is a remote woreda in Ethiopia’s Guji region. The farms supplying the Hadeso washing station vary in distance from the city. Most farms are accessible by dirt roads. During the harvest, producers use motorcycles, horses, or donkeys to transport bags of cherries to the nearest collection center. Most producers in this area are part of the Gedeo culture and speak the Gedeo language. Cultural traditions remain deeply woven into daily life. For example, animals such as birds, dogs, and cats are treated with great respect.
