2024 Seeds Fund Recipient
The Incahuasi Cooperative has been awarded a 2024 Seeds Grant to establish demonstration plots and conduct seminars on good agricultural practices. The cooperative's 500 members face challenges with soil erosion and plant nutrition due to the steep slopes, as well as logistical and financial difficulties in buying and transporting organic fertilizers to remote farms. The training sessions will focus on initiating bio-fertilizer (microorganism) production on farms, soil management, and erosion prevention techniques.
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.
