La Casita
Welcome
La Casita
The space we call home. A collective of our shared ideas, visions and accomplishments. Travel on our journey through the coffee fields of member owners to our cafés and beyond. This is where we can share our joys, our struggles, our ideas and passion for what we do each and everyday working for coffee farmers.
Choosing Pachamama Is Making a Difference
Pachamama Coffee’s model is unique. First of all because the farmers are the owners of Pachamama Coffee. This not only generates wealth for our families and our communities, but also provides dignity. We are the owners in the entire coffee chain, so it provides dignity for the farmer.
