Pachamama Coffee Cooperative

Pachamama is a unique company founded in 2001. It is a cooperative owned by more than 150,000 coffee farmers around the world, which is democratically-controlled and owned by its members, producer-groups representing small-scale coffee farmers around the world. It has more than 8,500 family farmers in Peru, 2,300 family farmers in Nicaragua, more than 1,100 family farmers in Guatemala, some 1,950 family farmers in Mexico and 135,000 in Ethiopia. It provides customers with premium coffee in the most direct manner possible and, in doing so, helps improve the lives of small-scale farmers and their families.

Pachamama's member-owners ship the organic single-origin coffee to the USA, where it is hand-roasted in small batches in California and shiped directly to customers. All of Pachamama's coffee are Certified Organic (CCOF) and Fair Trade (Transfair USA). Proceeds from the sales are reinvested in socially and environmentally responsible programs, which are selected by the co-op's members and based in their home countries.
