Shopping local is BIG news!

by Lisa Chandler April 10, 2019

Organic coffee has no nasty fertilisers or pesticides used in it’s cultivation, and is shade grown. Coffee plants like shade, but farming the plant under a tree canopy is much more difficult and intensive than in an open field. If coffee plants are in full sun, when it rains, there is more wash off which means less nutrients in the soil, more chemicals going into local water systems.
