The next release in our Organic Farmer Series, Alta GraciaCoffee Porter is brewed with organic roasted barley and chocolate malts for a rich, dark and robust flavor with an infusion of organic vanilla beans, and coffee from the Dominican Republic farm community Alta Gracia.
This non-profit farm works to empower farmers with tools and techniques to grow quality shade-grown organic coffee. The result is growers who feel pride in their stewardship of the land, are paid fairly for their labor, and have healthy sustainable farms.
A view from the Alta Gracia Farm.
Growing coffee is hard work. Harvest must be done by hand so that only the ripe berries are picked.
The farmers of the Alta Gracia farm community are paid fair wages for their work. It is the mission of the farm to teach neighboring farmers techniques to grow high quality shade-grown organic coffee that will allow them to get a fair price for their product.
Alta Gracia also works towards sustainability by teaching reading and writing. A school and library were built for the community.
