2025 Seeds Fund Recipient
The Last Mile Coffee has been awarded a Seeds grant to establish a coffee nursery in the Mt. Elgon region of Uganda, producing Bourbon and Geisha seedlings alongside shade trees to address low yields, aging trees, and landscape degradation. The project will support nursery setup, seed production, shade tree planting, trenching, composting, training, and ongoing monitoring. It is expected to produce 20,000 coffee seedlings and 10,000 shade trees while boosting farmer yields and resilience.
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 $500,000 to Seeds projects.
