When it comes to purchasing your coffee beans for your daily cup of Joe, buying independently and locally is the best choice by far. Not only will you get exceptionally fresh coffee beans, but you can also invest in a company that gives back to the community and promotes sustainability in coffee cultivation.
One Village Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster located in Pennsylvania, yet they have much more to offer than simply roasting coffee beans. One Village Coffee products are primarily distributed throughout the Northeast. Much of their passion has to do with giving back to the community and aspiring to connect the coffee farmers, harvesters, sellers, roasters, and customers.
Their current project is focusing on helping coffee farmers in Nigeria promote sustainability and profitable methods for coffee cultivation. The truth is that the coffee farmer is often the one who suffers in the coffee trade industry, while commercial coffee companies purchasing coffee beans in bulk are often the ones making the money. Instead of contributing to this issue, One Village is setting the precedent of giving back to the coffee farmers so that the coffee industry can grow and thrive as a result.
One Village also participates in local farmers markets as yet another way to promote sustainability through supporting farmers in the local communities.
