Who grew your coffee?

Some of the poorest people in the world live in coffee growing regions. Most farmers don’t have the resources to purchase their own land become trapped in a cycle of poverty and share cropping, making only pennies for their crop. Children of sharecropping families spend their days working in the fields without access to the most basic education.

But your fundraising efforts can make a difference! By paying fairly traded prices for our coffees, and giving back to organizations like Agros International, we partner with farmers to build sustainable, thriving lives for generations. Agros helps farmers own land through low interest loans, build infrastructure for healthy villages, and provide education for their children.
