According to the International Coffee Association, roughly 100 million people depend on coffee for their primary income. 80% of that coffee comes from small farmers with an average of 6 acres or less. Over 70% of these small coffee farmers live below the World Bank poverty line of $2 a day. So, to combat this, SF Bay Coffee created the 4 pillars of change. Pillar 1: Pay the farmer above the cost of production. Growing the largest family in the world. 100% family owned. When we founded SF Bay Coffee in 1979, we started out to become experts on all things coffee. Two generations later, our family's focus has evolved and we believe our responsibility goes beyond simply creating quality products. Today, we are deeply committed to growing the largest family in the world while improving the life of every farmer and community we cross paths with. We put this vision to practice in all aspects of our daily work, knowing that out ultimate purpose is to do the right thing. sfbaycoffee.com. Learn more at: sybaycoffee.com.
