They have 3 plots of Arabica which they maintain with organic compost inputs and maintenance pruning. This family employs organic practices for farm maintenance; No herbicides or pesticides.

Pak Pido and his wife have seen the benefits first hand of pruning in relation to yield and have used their training to continue to improve their Arabica crops harvests. This is an example of rejuventation pruning on one of their farms.
