Cafe Justo (Just Coffee): We heard from a former coffee farmer at this exciting and hopeful organization, which moves beyond the concept of fair trade, with an emphasis on coffee farmers' involvement and ownership in the entire process! This affords them the benefits of social security and healthcare, so they can stay on their lands and sell delicious and conscious awakening coffee! Yum!!!
If you love coffee, or know someone who does, this coffee is a special treat and you can order it online...Also if you're interested, contact the organization and your college, school, church, synagogue, or temple can get in on this great coffee, too!

| The photos displayed on the Just Coffee wall are of coffee farmers and farms at cooperatives throughout Mexico. Just Coffee is growing is Salvador Urbinas, Chiapas as well as Agua Prieta, Sonora, El Aguila, Nayarit, and El Cordon del Jilguero. There are Just Coffee cooperatives "in the works" in Nayarit, Veracruz, and Baranderes, Haiti. Just Coffee is one of many organizations working to address root causes of migration by creating favorable working conditions so that workers are paid a just price for their labor and so do not have the economic necessity to migrate. |
