From our friends at Homestead Coffee Roasters in Upper Black Eddy, PA -- a family owned roastery that finds the best sustainable coffees in the world while developing strong relationships with the farmers. ABOUT THE ROASTERY: Located in a 19th Century barn alongside the scenic Pennsylvania Tow Path, just steps from the Delaware River, theyβve been roasting coffee with passion since 2006. They carefully and conscientiously source their beans, continually tasting & refining their selections to ensure they live up to the highest standards. Packaging that is 100% BIODEGRADEABLE, COMPOSTABLE, & RECYCLEABLE.
SMALL FARMS & COOPERATIVES: All of our coffee comes from individual small farm owners. This helps farmers feel a special pride in their crop, and allow them to know its value is being appreciated. This allows us to pay a much better premium for each coffee, as the quality level is far above commodity level coffees. We purchase well above Fair Trade prices, so farmers are compensated at the upper tier of free market prices. Year over year, relationships like these help tremendous growth and optimism spread in many areas.
