Cafe Mam : Eugene, Oregon, USA

Cafe Mam (sounds like `mom`) is grown by fair-trade cooperatives of native Mayan farmers living in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. The growers, primarily of the Mam, Tzetzal and Mocho peoples, are organized according to egalitarian democratic ideals that stress responsibility to the co-op, hard work and high standards. Their programs provide countless benefits to outlying native communities. The Cafe Mam encourage growth by practicing terracing, composting, and regenerative pruning. They must also plant leguminous shade trees and establish a seedling nursery before their harvest is classified as organic. Our moral commitment includes the exclusive use of certified organic coffee and our support of pesticide reform groups We use recyclable glassine lined Kraft bags, when aluminized Mylar bags are today's industry standard. We also use recycled, unbleached boxes and paper. We are a team of empowered workers, and we stand behind our products. We hope you enjoy Cafe Mam as much as we do.
