Honduran Coffee
Founder of Eco Café and returned Peace Corps Volunteer, Eric Harrison, set out to develop a new type of coffee company that would turn the coffee industry upside down. Eco Café transfers the knowledge and equipment of roasting and bagging coffee to the local farmers, creating higher end jobs and lasting changes to the local communities. Instead of processing, roasting, bagging and distributing coffee in the United States, Eco Café is creating a sustainable economy for local coffee growers by having these activites done in their communities. Eco Café is fostering a sustainable community where local children are beginning to be more motivated to study in school as the jobs available to them are becoming more inspiring than simply picking coffee.
But, Eco Café’s founder didn’t stop there. He has decided to work for free so he could donate 100% profits back to coffee communities to build infrastructure projects such as water systems, schools, and health centers. Did we say 100%??? Yep 100% of Eco Café’s profits are donated back in order to improve living conditions in developing countries.
