2022 Seeds Fund Recipient
ASPROCAES, the producers of our Urcunina coffee, were granted Seeds money to mount 15 apiaries and two extraction units in the villages of Matituy and Tunja Grande. Bees pollinate a 1-mile radius from their apiaries which contributes to overall crop productivity and environmental biodiversity. Furthermore, the sale of honey and other byproducts diversifies the income of the 150 families that are members of ASPROCAES.
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 $280,000 to Seeds projects.
