We are honored to be recognized as a finalist for this award and wish to applaud all the finalists for their shared dedication to make the coffee better. To be acknowledged by the SCA for the impact we make inspires our farmer-owners, as well as the staff, partners and customers of Pachamama.

About Pachamama Coffee Cooperative of Small-Scale Coffee Producers

Pachamama Coffee is a roaster and retailer of specialty coffee collectively owned by thousands of smallholder farmers in Africa and Latin America. The federated co-op was founded in 2006 by five pioneering producer groups from Peru, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico and Ethiopia, who pooled their resources to create their own coffee company in California. By working together, across borders and with an US-based staff, Pachamama’s founding members were able to make this leap forward, forming the first global cooperative in North America that’s owned by farmers outside of the country.
