GIVING BACK
CHAPOLA PROJECT
Chapola Project has helped support not only local communities but has helped improve the quality of life for coffee producers around the world.. and this is just the start.
Standing on the rolling terrains of a coffee plantation in Honduras, moved by the compassion yet challenges faced in the life of a coffee farmer, The Chapola Project was formed. The intention of our project is to improve the quality of life for coffee producers around the world.
From these early beginners we have progressively developed individual and a customized approach to each project. This has evolved into supporting many humble coffee producers with their own unique stories. We do this through purchasing above and beyond standard market rates ensuring our premium prices are received by the people who deserve it most. Purchasing coffees through non-for-profit events like Project Origins ‘Late Harvest: Best of Honduras’ auction and the Cup of Excellence. Through The Chapola Project we believe it is our duty to offer guidance in pre-harvest techniques and to donate and help build infrastructure at the farm level. Building these sustainable relationships not only improve the lives of our producers, but the quality of coffees we continue to have access to.
Our most recent projects is our partnership with the Lanza Family from Honduras, in the purchase of our Chapola farm Finca Chapola in the Santa Barbara region of Honduras. Finca Chapola will not only help support the Lanza family, but as we learn together we will continue to educate neighbouring producers, as well as using our farm as an educational platform for Coffee Professionals, Baristas, Business Owners and Roasters from around the world.
