Most coffee farmers struggle below the poverty line earning as little as €400 a year from their coffee. We want to change that and are rolling out a programme of improvements for farmers.

This means better training in sustainable farming practices, seeds, saplings, tools, bank accounts, mobile phones and investments in climate controlled storage facilities and eco friendly washing stations.

It will take us time and we won’t always get things right but it’s a roadmap to a living income for all coffee farmers.

Forest-grown coffee supports wildlife habitats, migratory birds and gives coffee beans a much richer and diverse range of flavour.

Traditionally coffee was grown in the shade of the forest amongst the plants and trees but the push for big profits has shifted coffee growing out into the sun with land being cleared for fields.

Today just 4% of coffee around the world is forest grown.

Our goal is to reverse this trend. We’re paying more for forest grown coffee like our single origin and working with farmers to protect their habitats and ensure farming livelihoods can protect and rejuvenate the forests of the coffee belt.
