Farmer to Farmer has been running a direct-trade business as an expression of solidarity with coffee farmers in Honduras and Guatamala for a couple of decades. Their goal is to pay the farmers a premium for the organic coffee they produce, at above fair-trade pricing. Drawing from the CSA model, F2F also pays for a majority of the next year’s crop ahead of time so that the farmers have the cash to produce a crop. They import the coffee and make roasted coffee available through a subscription service. They hope to bridge cultural connections between the agriculturalists in their area and farmers producing the coffee that we enjoy. To that end, F2F also brings small groups of folks down to meet folks in Honduras and Guatemala every year, visit the farms and the scholarship students they support through the organization. They’re happy to share the stories of the farmers whose communities they can benefit through their model.
