2024 Seeds Fund Recipient
Cafenor has been awarded a 2024 Seeds Grant to convert coffee waste into organic fertilizers, producing 1,000 bags of solid and 8,000 liters of liquid fertilizer in the first year. Through innovative fermentation techniques and vermiculture, this initiative reduces costs, improves soil health, and supports 90–110 producers, promoting sustainability and minimizing environmental impact in coffee production.
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.
