Why Buy Cooperative Coffees?
Whether you’re interested in long-term membership in the cooperative or not, your green coffee purchases can have a regenerative impact.
We sell fair trade and organic green coffee that is fully traceable, for prices that are fully transparent.
The Cooperative Journey
How it works
Our relationships with farmer organizations and coffee roasters last because we find like-minded partners whose company we love to share.

REGENERATIVE RELATIONSHIPS
We make it a point to nurture long-term relationships with
producers, which is
why most of our partnerships last more than
ten years.
Impact Work
Social premiums, or Fairtrade premiums are funds paid over and above the Fairtrade minimum price. These funds are paid directly to the cooperatives and provide financial empowerment, allowing producers to improve their social, economic, and environmental conditions.
Our impact fund exists to help resolve challenges that cannot be solved solely through trade. Our investments are broken into three categories.
Grants: We encourage supply partners to submit proposals of up to $25k annually.
Training: Ideally through farmer-to-farmer opportunities, training programs help build organizational capacity.
Emergency Relief: When the need arises, we rapidly release funds to combat geopolitical emergencies that threaten the communities we work with.
