The Cocaine 4 Coffee Project kicked off in Colombia in 2012 with the goal of helping cocaine farmers and their families escape a risky industry. While there's still a long way to go, the farmers are feeling hopeful. The community vibe is amazing, and everyone’s ready to lend a hand and share their expertise.
This coffee comes from deep within coca country in Colombia, grown by former coca farmers. Your purchases have made a big difference in their lives by getting them out of a dangerous trade, paying them a higher price for their coffee, and teaching others in the area how to grow and produce high-quality, specialty coffee for a sustainable future.
They’ve even set up a coffee processing center to support over 15 villages in Tolima, helping local growers process their beans and providing assistance to those affected by guerrilla conflicts.
