Chania Estate has been owned by the Harries family for several generations. It is one of the last two remaining medium-sized farms in Kenya. Located on deep red volcanic soils, Chania Estate covers 73 hectares. The Harries family also owns Oreti farm, and 80 hectares of indigenous forest planted to encourage biodiversity now cover both farms entirely. Currently, more than 50% of the Chania and Oreti farms are planted with Red Bourbon. The rest is a mix of Ruiru 11 (a resilient variety), K7 (rust-resistant), SL28 (disease-susceptible but known for its cup quality), and the new Batian variety. The farms employ 40 full-time workers, but during harvest season up to 300 people are hired to hand-pick and prepare the coffees. The farm has opened its own nursery to care for the employees' children. All coffee is handpicked and processed on-site. Most of it is washed, but Boyce also produces natural and honey-processed coffees, as well as microlots of specific varieties.
