Overview
Understand coffee cultivation from soil to harvest.
Understand coffee from the ground up. This program covers coffee plant biology and varietal selection, soil health and fertilization, pruning and ongoing farm care, and the harvesting decisions that determine whether a cherry becomes a specialty-grade bean or gets sorted out. You'll see, firsthand, how each choice made in the field shows up later in the cup.
Built for aspiring farmers, coffee buyers and sourcing teams, and anyone who wants to understand coffee at its source rather than just at the counter — this program gives you the agronomic grounding to make better decisions, whether you're managing a plot, evaluating a supplier, or simply want to speak with real authority about where great coffee comes from.
What You’ll Learn
The Full Curriculum.
Coffee Plant Biology
Learn how coffee varieties differ, what growing conditions each needs, and how the plant actually develops from flower to ripe cherry — the foundation for every other decision a grower makes.
Soil & Fertilization
Understand soil health, nutrient needs, and fertilization timing for healthy, productive coffee trees. Get this wrong and no amount of downstream processing can fix a weak harvest.
Planting & Farm Care
Explore planting density, pruning techniques, and the ongoing maintenance that keeps a coffee farm productive year after year, including how proper pruning improves both yield and cup quality.
Harvesting Techniques
Learn the timing and selective-picking methods that separate peak-ripeness cherries from underripe or overripe ones — the single biggest factor in whether a lot has the potential to be specialty grade.
From Farm to Cup
Connect every farming decision — variety, soil, pruning, harvest timing — directly to what ends up in the cup, so you leave understanding coffee quality as a chain of choices, not a mystery.
