San Lazaro Coffee www.sanlazarocoffee.com It is certainly helping, but the fact of the matter is, it is not yet enough.

Did you know?

-Many coffee farmers are forced to sell their crops to middlemen at less than the cost of production, forcing them into debt and a cycle of poverty.

-Fair Trade coffee alone may not be an adequate solution.

-From our experience and many others, the fair trade wage is simply not enough to put children through school, to provide enough food for families, or to provide farmers with a reasonable quality of life. The San Lazaro Commitment:
-To pay employees 25% more than local fair wages and provide specialty medical care.

-To treat our employees with dignity, respect, and love through personal relationships to ensure that each individual is given the opportunity to thrive, not merely survive.

-To use 100% of our profits to support the Mission Lazarus Refuge children’s home.

-To use organic methods to produce our coffee

-To cut out the middle-man and act as a single sourced-coffee to guarantee fair wages for our employees.

-To bring you a cup of coffee that has consistently scored as a “specialty coffee.”

Long before your coffee ever reaches your cup, two fingers gently picked a ripe coffee cherry from a tree on a mountainside in southern Honduras. Later, another pair of fingers carefully examined the beans, removing imperfections one by one.

Those fingers belong to women whose skill and care produce exceptional coffee.

From caring for coffee plants and harvesting ripe cherries to processing, drying, and sorting the beans, these women play an essential role in producing San Lázaro Coffee.

We believe a job should be about more than a paycheck. It’s also about dignity, opportunity and having a community beside you through all the ups and downs of life.

We call them our farm team, but “sisters” might be a little closer to the truth!

There’s a lot of work behind your cup of coffee that never quite makes it into the picture.

Our farm team is in charge of many tasks, from tending the coffee plants and harvesting the coffee cherries to clearing land. Coffee is the crop, but what makes the coffee special is the team behind it!

Meet Don Anselmo Rivera, or Mr. Memo as he is affectionately called by those in his community.

For years, he has tended his coffee with care, using each harvest to provide for his family and build toward a better future. We have had the great privilege of partnering with him for the past eight years.

We’re proud to work alongside small producers like Mr. Memo, making sure their hard work is met with a fair price, paid on time. And YOU are part of this work when you purchase our coffee. Thank you!

On the farm, proper water management practices are a big deal.

That's why 100% of all water used on the farm is harvested directly from the mountain, stored in above-ground tanks and underground collection systems connected by pipe.

Sustainable practices like these are always top of mind as we attempt to steward the land well. Here Sonia is filling the tanks with rainwater and cleaning them out. To learn more about why we think this is important, check out the "Regenerative Farming" page at sanlazarocoffee.com.

Ada Gloria Tercero is a 59-year-old homemaker and coffee producer who has sold her harvest to San Lázaro since 2021. Ada Gloria’s farm is small, but eight people in her family depend on it. Every season, she faithfully delivers her entire harvest. Now, for the first time, she has the ability to process coffee on her own property and create more value from what her land already produces.

Our team begins each workday with a time of devotion and worship.

One of our favorite parts of this is seeing different women step up to lead, opening God’s Word and sharing what they’re learning with one another. It’s a simple part of the day, but a meaningful picture of what it looks like to care for the whole person.

Thank you for doing your part to support moments like this when you shop at sanlazarocoffee.com. We are so grateful for you!
