Smart Choices
Buying USDA Certified Organic coffees is one way to show your support to growers who value their land and local environment. Organic farmers do not use any chemical pesticides, herbicides or insecticides on their crops. These chemicals have varying levels of toxicity to every part of an eco-system; the soil, insects, local wildlife, nearby plants and trees, the workers who apply them and the consumers who eat them. They also deplete soil health which causes erosion into our water systems which, in turn, damages our water supplies and oceans. So you can see, avoiding chemical use whenever possible can only do good in repairing our much depleted agricultural system. As if that wasn't enough, organic products taste significantly better and you'll be able to tell that after one sip of our delicious brews (To read more about the USDA Organic Program, click here).
Fair Trade Certified is another program we are pleased to support. Growers participating in Fair Trade receive a higher price per pound for their coffees than non-participating growers. These monies go towards providing better housing, schooling, health care and working conditions for laborers in countries overwrought with poverty. By selecting FT you are actually improving the well-being and quality of life of thousands of families across the globe. It is a powerful thing to be able to make a notable difference in people's lives just by picking one product over another (To read more about Fair Trade, click here).
