Our coffees are organically grown and purchased directly from small scale farmers who we've had a long standing relationship with thru Cooperative Coffees. As members of the Co-op we purchase beans that exceed Fair Trade prices. We pay an extra 3 cents per pound into an Impact Fund to finance it's 'Climate Carbon and Coffee Initiative'. This fund helps ensure the future of organic coffee in the face of climate change.
