COFFEE ORIGINS

At Yellow Feather we care a lot about the quality of the coffee we serve. From coffee plantation to your cup. Here is some information about the various coffees available at our shop.

MEXICO MAJOMUT

Unión Majomut is a cooperative comprised of 1,700 producers in 29 communities located in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico. The co-op was founded in 1983 with the goal of improving the lives of coffee producers in these communities. In 1992, Unión Majomut became certified by Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International (FLO). With the Fair Trade price, Unión Majomut has been able to invest in several social and productive programs, including:

• Twenty-eight women‘s groups promoting organic coffee production, chicken farming, food safety, and healthcare.
• An education program that addresses issues of small-scale coffee production.
• A small-scale coffee roasting and milling business that sells ground coffee to the local market.
• A micro-credit program for co-op members.
• A technical assistance team of agronomists, agricultural technicians, accountants, anthropologists, and computer specialists.
• Unión Majomut exports to Europe, Japan, and the United States.
