Support Our Sister Parish Coffee -
Fair Trade

Coffee from Finca de Santa Emilia meets and exceeds internationally recognized fair trade standards; standards that balance inequities found in the conventional coffee trade. Fair Trade standards more than triple the income of Salvadoran farmers who grow, harvest, and process this exceptional coffee. This additional income provides access to a host of social services such as education, medical care, public transportation, and recreation facilities. Santa Emilia farmers are also guaranteed adequate housing and access to clean water.
