Crop to Cup specializes in importing coffee from Uganda, but we are rapidly expanding to new origins. We have one of the most progressive payment plan to farmers, going far beyond Fairtrade: 20% above market price, 5% donation and 10% reinvestment back to the farmers.

I visit this site a couple times a day just to keep my sanity! I'm dying for a good espresso! Where can i get one? I'm currently sitting at cafe kopi on walnut, but they just can't do it. Where do you work?

Sorry I missed the training session; I had to hold down the fort.

Poor little thing in such cold weather. I've never seen snow, if you can believe that. I hear it's very very cold and I'm largely uninterested. Yeah, my little shop is pretty cool, if not totally grass roots, make it up as we go, etc. I'd give you a job in a heart beat, you have a large business vocabulary. Keep warm....
