Our Mission & Values
The Bigger Picture
Beyond coffee, the foundation of our company is helping our farmers and their communities. Since 2015, the cost of coffee has decreased by 60%, leading to farmers being unable to support themselves and their families. Many farmers are being paid under the cost of production and are losing money by selling to coffee distributors.
We've committed to buying 100% of our coffee directly from the 32,000 farmers we work with to ensure fair pay, and each year we set up a fund to help the farmers we work with. To date, we've built more than 63 schools, 1,700 housing communities, and over a dozen medical centers.
We’re proud to do our part in taking care of the farmers who give us so much. By purchasing our coffee, you’re helping farmers all over the world.
