The coffee industry is worth billions, and coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the world, yet food insecurity is one of its biggest threats. Coffee prices often fluctuate, when they drop, farmers may earn little to no income, making it difficult to afford basic necessities such as food or healthcare. Institutional gaps also contribute to the problem by lack of access to good quality education and restricted access to financing, preventing smaller growers from advancing out of poverty.

We are not interested in selling coffee. We are on a mission to change the business of coffee.

Café Coléctive by Colé Colé is coffee in solidarity.

Choosing coffee in solidarity promotes fair, ethical, and sustainable coffee production practices that benefit coffee farmers, our communities and our environment. We want to do our part to address global inequality in the coffee production chain, where the majority small of coffee farmers and their communities struggle with poverty and food insecurity. In the United States, Café Coléctive will support organizations that work to provide food, shelter and basic necessities for those in need.

Our coffee’s are sourced from growers that put community first. Our ultimate goal is to raise awareness of food insecurity by putting systems in place in our own supply chain that will support growers affected by food insecurity. Additionally we will support the communities where we sell our coffee here at home.
