How It Works

Pachamama Coffee Cooperative, the organization that started CoffeeCSA.org, is a unique international cooperative that is owned by other democratically-run cooperatives, which, in turn are owned by more than 140,000 small-scale farmers, including those featured on this website.

How It Works

1. Farmers deliver coffee to their cooperatives (CoffeeCSA’s Member Cooperatives).
2. Member Cooperatives ship coffee to CoffeeCSA’s roaster in the United States.
3. Subscribers commit to a farmer’s harvest via CoffeeCSA.org.
4. Member Cooperative’s coffee is roasted and shipped fresh, directly to the subscriber.
5. Farmers receive fair trade payment for green coffee and, in addition, participate in 100% of the sales of CoffeeCSA.
