2023 Seeds Fund Recipient
Toldopamba received a Seeds grant to purchase and install solar panels on their farm. Due to unreliable access to electricity and the need to transition to renewable energy, the new solar panels will cover at least 50% of the energy they need to operate during the harvest. Not only does this move Toldopamba towards their goal of using more renewable energy and keep them operating during grid blackouts, they wil serve as an example of the possibilities of energy production alternatives in the region.
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.
