Camano Island Coffee

FIRST: THE BEANS

– Ethical coffee beans mean all Organic – guaranteeing farmer safety.

– Ethical coffee means Shade-grown — guaranteeing bird habitat and preventing soil erosion.

SECOND: THE PRICE

– Ethical coffee means buying Fairly Traded.

– We pay over the Fair Trade Certified rate for our green beans.

– Higher pay for the highest quality beans.

THIRD: GIVING A HAND UP, NOT A HANDOUT.

– Independence – as landowners, farmers can command a better price for their delicious products.

– Accountability – as landowners, farmers can decide for themselves whether to use dangerous pesticides or harmful agricultural practices like clear-cutting the Rainforest.

– It Doesn’t End Here! – Agros also helps farmers through education and water treatment programs. Now that’s something to drink to!

FOURTH: THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN GENERATIONAL CHANGE — YOU

That’s right, you are the most important component for lasting change.

– By supporting only ethical coffee that’s Certified Organic, Shade-Grown, and Fairly Traded, you preserve the environment and prevent human poisoning from pesticides.

– By supporting ethical coffee that’s fairly traded, you know coffee farmers receive a fair wage — that’s life-altering.

– There’s power in your dollar — Use it! For every Coffee Lover’s Box shipment you receive from CICR, 2% is given back through our nonprofit partners: Agros and Food 4 Farmers.
