We team up with collaboratives
We source our beans ethically. This means a lot and also it is so simple. But what does ethical mean? It's more than simply the right price paid per kilo of beans. It's more than optimized shipping methods.
Every purchase at Golden Ground Coffee goes to ensuring a strong coffee future globally. Strong coffee communities and strong coffee relationships internationally. You make this amazing thing possible.
When it comes to the coffee that Golden Ground offers, we know that the process and sourcing also matters. We work with Falcon Coffees to ensure that our coffees are all sourced with an ethical backbone. Not only that but Falcon Coffee has a strong impact and builds collaborative supply chains for mutual profit and positive social and environmental outcomes.
Falcon and The Coffee Gardens
Uganda: The Coffee Gardens was established in 2017 with the goal of producing specialty coffee in an ethical way, offering a transparent and direct link between coffee farmers and coffee consumers. At the heart of their business model is the concept of the triple-bottom-line, where economic, social, and environmental goals are equally valued and prioritized.

Colombia San Lorenzo Drying Beds Initiative
COLOMBIA: For the farmers of the San Lorenzo region of Colombia, coffee production is their principal way of life. Yet food insecurity and poverty are ever-present threats to communities of this area. We have joined with Kaffa roasters, Siruma and Alto Occidente on a multi-faceted project in San Lorenzo that aims to improve food security, through improving coffee quality.
