ABOUT JOKISSA COFFEE FARM
A farm, A FAMILY,
A FUTURE IN COFFEE.
Jokissa Coffee Farm is rooted in Kyajubira, Kabonera, Masaka, Uganda.
What began with a family connection to coffee has grown into a 120-acre coffee farm and a wider community of growers working towards better quality, stronger livelihoods and a sustainable future through coffee.
Jokissa Coffee Farm grew from a lifelong connection to coffee.
Our founder, Ssalongo Kigozi John, grew up around coffee. Coffee was part of his family, with both his grandparents and parents involved in growing it.
After years of working for a private company, he began thinking about what could be built for the future — something that could provide for his family while creating opportunities beyond his own working life.
He had started acquiring land as early as 1997. When the first coffee seedlings were eventually planted, 60 acres had already been secured.
Today, 120 acres are under coffee.
And the journey is still continuing.
our story
It started with a simple idea.
FROM OUR FARM TO A WIDER
COFFEE COMMUNITY
Jokissa is not only about the coffee grown on our own farm.
We also work with fellow coffee growers through Kitanga Coffee Farmers Cooperative Society Limited.
Jokissa Coffee Farm serves as the lead farm within the cooperative, bringing together smallholder farmers around a shared focus on coffee quality, sustainable farming and better opportunities for farmers.
Through farmer engagement, training and knowledge sharing, the cooperative connects growers and creates a stronger foundation for reaching wider markets.
Today, the farmers connected through the cooperative collectively steward more than 1,500 acres of coffee.

ROBUSTA FROM MASAKA
WHAT WE GROW
Robusta is at the heart of JOKISSA.
Our coffee is grown in Masaka, where the farm, the people and
the surrounding coffee-growing community shape the way we work.
We are focused on producing coffee with a clear origin and a process
that begins on the farm and continues through harvesting, drying, hulling, sorting and quality checks.
A coffee farm is built by people. The people who plant, care for, harvest, process and prepare
the coffee are an essential part of JOKISSA

Founder
JOKISSA began with Ssalongo Kigozi John's desire to build something lasting from his connection to coffee, land and family.
His vision has grown from a family-rooted farm into a wider coffee community in Masaka.
our farm team
The people working across the farm and cooperative help turn each harvest into coffee that can reach buyers beyond Uganda.
WE'RE STILL BUILDING.
Jokissa is not a finished story.
We are continuing to develop the farm, strengthen our coffee production and expand the opportunities available to the growers around us.
We plan to expand the farm further while continuing to improve how we grow, process and prepare our coffee.
The goal is simple: To build something that can continue growing long after the first coffee trees were planted.
