Noah's Ark Farmers Association Uganda has managed to setup two coffee demonstration farms whereby one is located at kalagala village sited on 22 acre land and the other located at mutukula village sited on 8 acre land which are established to also grow food to feed the children from Noah's Ark Children Ministry Uganda and to act as a demonstration farm to the community, where local farmers can learn modern agricultural methods.
In our coffee demonstration gardens we encompass both arabica and robusta coffee farming. The Arabica coffee beans is the most popular type of coffee which has higher quality beans and are referred to as gourmet coffee. It has a half the amount of caffeine as Robusta and have more pleasing flavours and a smoother aromatic properties that have a sweeter, more complex flavor that you can drink straight whereas Robusta coffee beans are of a lower grade than Arabica which is also cheaper and stronger, and are typically grown at lower elevations. They are easier to grow and maintain, and they are also more disease resistant that is s easier to tend to on the farm, has also higher yield and is less sensitive to insect.
