Our name embodies the warmth and authenticity of our land, acting as a bridge between talented small-scale Ecuadorian producers and people around the world who seek unique, high-quality, and ethically sourced products.
The name Mikayu is inspired by the Quechua word "mikay," meaning "to eat" or "to nourish." This reflects our deep commitment to care, vitality, and wellbeing—not only in what we offer, but in how we operate. At Mikayu, we believe that true nourishment comes from respecting nature, empowering communities, and celebrating culture.
