2024 Seeds Fund Recipient
The Valle Inca Cooperative has been awarded a 2024 Seeds Grant to build a seedling nursery. Once completed, this nursery will provide members with affordable access to coffee seedlings and forest tree seedlings. This initiative aims to meet the increasing demand for coffee plants and to restore deforested areas by establishing a canopy cover with various native tree species. This dual approach will enhance coffee production and contribute to environmental conservation efforts 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.
