Grounds for Change Coffee

• Certified Organic Coffee
  Organic coffee is grown without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, thereby assuring the health of the soil, forest and farmers. All of the coffee we roast is certified organic.
  
  
• Certified Fair Trade Coffee
  Fair trade coffee gives farmers a better standard of living and producer cooperatives are guaranteed a minimum fair price for their crop. All of the coffee we roast is Fair Trade Certified.
  
  
• Shade Grown Coffee
  Shade grown coffee protects migratory bird habitat and reduces clear-cutting in tropical rainforests as well as enhancing flavor. All of our coffee is verified as shade grown and whenever possible, our coffee is Shade Grown Certified by SMBC (this certification is only available in certain origin countries).
  
  
• CarbonFree® Certified Coffee
  To get a product certified CarbonFree®, a company must submit the item for a detailed Life Cycle Analysis, a third-party process that formally scrutinizes the carbon emissions associated with every step in production. The resulting analysis accounts for and offsets all carbon dioxide emissions, in our case, starting with a coffee plant and ending with an empty bag of coffee.
  
  
• Wholesale Coffee Program
  Grounds for Change is proud to offer a unique coffee wholesale program for our Organic, Fair Trade coffee that is geared towards independent cafes and colleges.
