Certified Organic and Fair Trade Coffee

One of our favourite blends of Coffee here at the North Coast Co-op is Humboldt Bay Coffee - which is Certified Organic Coffee that accounts for more than 70% of all their coffee sales.

The reason why we like it so much is that Humboldt Bay Coffee is committed to the environment. They will strive to achieve this goal in several different ways. 

They’ve been spearheading the sustainable coffee movement since 1992 by centering their business around USDA Certified Organic coffee.

Many of their coffees are also shade-grown under a canopy of trees, retaining the natural habitat for migratory birds. In addition to focusing on organic, they also coordinate with organizations like the Rain Forest Alliance which is actively involved in soil conservation, reduction of pesticide use, forest preservation and restoration of wildlife migration corridor. 

They also proudly feature a selection of Fair Trade coffees.

Consistent with the philosophy of “think globally, act locally,” Humboldt Bay Coffee has also contributed energy, money, or product to over 80 different local community organizations, including schools and non-profit organizations.

Finally, they have made a concerted effort to reduce our day-to-day waste by implementing a stringent recycling program. 
In addition to recycling plastic bottles and waste paper, coffee by-products are also recycled for use in gardens and worm beds.
