2023 Seeds Fund Recipient
In a commitment to investing in organic agriculture and building community, the owners of Finca La Hermosa received a Seeds grant for an organic composting project. Utilizing organic products including chicken manure, coffee mucilage, husks and pulp, the resulting foliar and solid inputs will be used by 50 neighboring producers for their coffee, avocado and grain plantations. The project educates producers on the impacts of chemical fertilizers and promotes organic practices.
Seeds Program
Counter Culture Coffee collects $0.01 from every pound of coffee sold to fund our Seeds program. Annually, $1 per pound of our winter coffee blend, Iridescent, goes to further increase our contribution. Seeds offers financial grants to producers and producer organizations we work with to implement sustainability projects they identify as beneficial. To date, we’ve allocated over $450,000 to Seeds projects.
