From farm activity to buyer-ready proof.

HeritageIQ connects the work done on a farm to the coffee lot a buyer receives. Capture records in HeriShamba, preserve evidence and provenance, then publish a clear origin record for review.

Built from real farm operations in Kenya. Coffee first, practical field capture, buyer-visible provenance.

SHERIFF AI is being developed as a review layer over the same records. Human approval remains the gate for consequential actions.

The HeritageIQ journey

Follow one coffee lot from the farm to the buyer.

Every stage adds context. None should break the link back to origin.

The ruleEvidence moves forward.
Origin stays attached.
01Origin

Put the farm on record

Farm identity and boundary establish where the coffee story begins.

02Capture

Record work in HeriShamba

Harvests, operations, inputs and supported evidence are captured in the field.

03Evidence

Preserve the source record

Accepted records keep their capture context and remain part of farm history.

04Provenance

Follow the coffee

Harvest, processing and custody history stays connected to the commercial lot.

05Buyer review

Publish the origin record

A fixed buyer-facing record brings the available lot history into one place.

Result: the buyer receives more than a claim of origin — they receive a record they can open and inspect. See the sample origin record →
One record, five working views

Start with who you are.

Each role sees the part of the coffee record that matters to its job.

01 · Farmer

Put the farm and its work on record.

Start with farm identity, harvests and the evidence created where production happens.

A durable farm history
02 · Farm manager

Turn daily operations into usable records.

Capture field work, inputs, harvests and supporting evidence through HeriShamba.

Operational visibility at source
04 · Importer / roaster

Open the lot's history before buying.

Review the published origin record, provenance chain and available evidence from one link.

Better questions before trade
05 · Compliance / assurance

Work from organised source records.

Use farm geolocation and traceability evidence as inputs to wider due-diligence work.

Structured evidence to assess
Reference implementation · Kinondo Farm

Prove the system on a real farm before asking the market to trust it.

Kinondo Farm in Embu is the reference environment for real boundaries, field records and coffee operations before the pilot expands.

Farm identity and mapping

The farm and coffee blocks provide the spatial reference for operations and origin records.

In use

Field capture with HeriShamba

Harvests, operations, store-linked records and evidence are tested from the phone.

Testing

Provenance from harvest to lot

The pilot is validating the chain through processing and custody to the commercial lot.

Next proof

Buyer-ready origin record

The next commercial milestone is a real coffee lot whose buyer-facing record can be reviewed end to end.

We will publish verified pilot numbers, traced lots and buyer outcomes only after they exist.

The coffee pilot

Trace one real coffee lot from farm to buyer.

The pilot is deliberately narrow: choose one identified lot, capture the agreed records, keep origin attached through the chain, then put the final record in front of a buyer.

Pilot success is simpleOne lot.
One connected history.
One buyer-facing record.

Ready for the next real lot?

Bring one coffee lot. We will trace the record with you.

Start with a short pilot discussion. We will identify the farm or lot, agree the records to capture, and define what the buyer should be able to review at the end.
