Organic Certification Change

We started this business as a small Artisan coffee roaster in 2002, after my work as a Peace Corps volunteer with coffee farmers in Guatemala. Seeing the poor farmers suffer and Mother Earth being polluted with chemicals, we decided to do something that will help the farmers and the earth.

Since 2002, we have been proudly certified organic. Due to the extensive paperwork, the rising cost of certification, the bureaucracy, no longer any appreciation or organic cost share from the federal government plus our advancing ages, we have decided to not be certified organic. Since we are firm believers in organic, rest assured we will still only have the same organic products, certified at the previous step, and we will still follow organic procedures.
