"I can't wait to get my visa and meet first hand with the farmers of COOPFAM. The quality of their coffee is no accident: they're a really organized group who are committed their community and the stewardship of their land. In addition to growing coffee, many of the farmers also produce organic vegetables, chickens, eggs, and cereal crops for sale to diversify their income."

--Derek De La Paz, Peace Coffee Quality Control Manager
