Farmer to Farmer coffee is grown and harvested by Mayan families in the highlands of Guatemala.  Warm days and cool nights provide ideal conditions for Mayan farmers to cultivate and harvest some of the world’s best shade grown Arabica Coffee.  The purchase of this Coffee Share will directly support the efforts of local people to build a diverse and sustainable economy supporting ethical trading practices and sustainable farming.  The prices paid to the farmers were all at or above “fair trade” prices.   The donation from Coffee Shares purchased by CSA members in 2009 is being used to establish a plant nursery or "vivero". Members of the Coffee Coop, in coordination with the Peace Corps, are building the vivero and will now be able to grow a diverse selection of trees to plant as the over story for their coffee farms.
