If you’re searching for a coffee journey that goes beyond the cup and into the soul of the highlands — welcome to Đưng K'Nớ. Nestled among the mountains of Lâm Đồng province, this remote ethnic K’Ho village is quietly growing some of Vietnam’s most exceptional coffee — sustainably and soulfully.
☕ A Quest for Conscious Coffee
Led by the HuyEco team, we rode deep into Đưng K'Nớ on motorbike — no fancy plans, just a mission to check on our Vetiver grass planting from a previous trip and scout potential coffee plots for the upcoming harvest season. What we found instead was a deeper connection with the land, and a quiet revolution brewing under the canopy of mist and mountain.
On-the-ground footage: Coffee crop losses in Đưng K'Nớ caused by extreme weather and pest outbreaks — real challenges in the path to organic transformation. But we believe resilience today will harvest sustainability tomorrow.
Though isolated and facing infrastructure challenges, this region’s naturally cool climate and high altitude produce coffee cherries with remarkable size, sweetness, and density. Locals say the harvest here is delayed by a full month compared to surrounding areas — proof of slower, more refined development in each bean.
? Meet the K’Ho - Keepers of the Land
What makes Đưng K'Nớ truly unforgettable is its people. The K’Ho community here speaks through its traditions — from sustainable farming to language preservation. We met a young local woman teaching English to 48 village youth — a small classroom with massive dreams. Her story gave us hope that working with this village might not just be possible, but meaningful.
But it's not without challenge: unfamiliar with our standards, locals may struggle with sustainable farming practices like chemical-free cultivation or harvesting only ripe cherries — core values of our HuyEco coffee philosophy. Still, dialogue begins where curiosity leads, and we’re listening deeply.
? Tackling Land Erosion with Vetiver & Forest-Friendly Farming
We noticed severe soil erosion across the area, driven by single-crop farming and sandy terrain. That’s why we plant Vetiver here — a grassroots solution for slope stabilization. Long-term, we envision an agroforestry model with multi-layered shade trees and responsible weed control to protect this fragile ecosystem.
