Farmer's Select Batch #5

RAS Farms and Conscious Coffees are happy to announce the latest release of their Farmer’s Select series of coffees. Batch #5 is a world class coffee from the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia.

Banko Gotiti is a cooperative of approximately 300 small-holder coffee producers, named after their village in Southern Yirgacheffe (which is an appellation within the state of Sidama). They produce some of the highest grown coffee in the world (up to 8,000 feet above sea level) and are... recognized for exemplary quality. The coffee is processed in the un-washed tradition (also known as natural or sun-dried), which augments the inherent fruit notes and increases the body and viscosity. Flavors include fresh blackberry and raspberry jam and sweet chocolate in the finish.

Farmer’s Select Batch #5 comes in a reusable, recyclable, and collectable steel can, with a limited edition label. The Batch #5 label sees the reissue of the original artwork of acclaimed Rastafari artist RasTerms aka Terockatron. Cans of Batch #5 are available directly from R.A.S Farms online at www.rasfarms.com or by emailing rasagriculture@yahoo.com for additional information and ordering. (Price is $14.00 per 12oz. can.)

Last Chance for Farmer's Select Batch #4

The 2013 coffee crop is almost out, so time to pick up the (RAS Farms x Conscious Coffees) Farmer's Select Batch #4 coffee and T-shirt set before they're gone for good.

Continuing the collaboration between RAS Farms and Conscious Coffees, Batch #4 is Tafari: a medium roasted espresso from the Southern state of Sidama, grown and harvested by small-holder coffee producers organized into local cooperatives. The coffee has classic Ethiopian berry notes throughout and lots of cocoa flavors. Although developed as a semi-bright espresso, all brewing methods work well. 

“With respect, this blend of washed and un-washed Sidama coffees is named in honor of Tafari Makonnen Woldemikael, Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. To this day, his name represents a way of life for many people around the globe who maintain a strong commonality and union. Two coffees, One Love.”

The set is available for $33 plus $7 shipping (US Domestic shipping) by contacting RAS Farms at www.rasfarms.com or rasagriculture@yahoo.com

2014 CSA Announcement

Happy New Year to all of our friends and family near and far-


We wanted to inform everyone that RAS Farms is not offering CSA shares for the 2014 growing season. We have decided to shift our production focus towards cafes, restaurants, and CO-OPs. Our produce, soaps, coffees, and merchandise will remain available for purchase directly from the farm and online.


After careful deliberation, we feel that this move will allow us the flexibility and time we need to juggle the demands of work, family, etc., while staying true to our vision of farming for the long term. We give thanks for all of the past and continued support.


Stay tuned for updates on what's available, and where to find our produce. Please direct all questions to rasagriculture@yahoo.com.




Forward Ever-
