Beginning with farmers Rolyn and Lorena Garcia in Nicaragua, Guadalupe Roastery has always been a Farmer First Organization that is now actively pursuing direct trade relationships with farmers in Honduras, Uganda, Peru, Colombia and the Congo. Paying more per pound than Fair Trade and forging a new type of relationship with coffee farmers, Guadalupe Roastery looks to empower farmers to support themselves, their families, and their communities by forming a partnership. One day, Brad and his company hope to be partnering with as many coffee growers as they can in order to bring families and communities out of poverty, while offering the highest quality coffee beans from around the world.
