We work together with the local communities of northern Sumatra at Sipirok Batang toru Landscape, coffee growers, in the creation of a Fair trade system that provides not only the price that farmers deserve but a direct benefit to the conservation of endangered species such as the Gibbon , this incredible Ape that very few know but which is part of the most endangered group of Primates on the planet.

Together with specialists in the field, farmers and local cooperatives , we work as a team in one of the largest rural development programs focused on conservation in North Sumatra.

We offer the possibility of spending a few days on the coffee plantation on vacation or volunteering.

Tapanuli-Sipirok:

COFFEE FARMING PROGRAM

We work alongside a coffee partner who runs her cooperative to which several local farmers belong. All of them produce sustainable organic coffee.

Volunteer activities aim to help the cooperative and farmers in their daily activities.

Normally, volunteers can stay in our local partner's guesthouse or in the farmers' house.

Budget cover only accomodation, food and activities in the field.

In their free time, volunteers can go trekking in Batang Toru, this forest contains the last population of Orangutans discovered in 2010.

To get to Sipirok, it is recommended to take a flight from Medan to Sipirok. Volunteers will be picked up at the airport. It is also possible to use public transport from Medan to Sipirok, but the journey takes 10 hours.

In this region of Sumatra, very few locals speak English, but communication via translators is possible.
