People over Plants
Our coffee is grown with purpose- to be Farm Traceable, Mission Minded, and Sustainably Sourced. People are the heart, soul, and focus of this organization, not coffee. This includes our farmers, their families, their communities, and communities all around the world, including here in the US. Investing in 504's coffee helps bring people out of poverty, provides jobs for the jobless, and spread the Good News and love of Jesus Christ all over the world.
Farm Traceable
Every bean that we bring into the United States can be traced straight back to the farmer who grew it, the workers who picked it, the altitude it was grown at, the truck (or horse) that transported it, and the mill that processed it.
Mission Minded
The center of all of our operations centers around this one word- missions.
Sustainably Sourced
We are proud to say that we positively impact many aspects of the peoples lives in Honduras. 504's coffee is obtained from suppliers in our co-op that use practices that are beneficial to the environment, economy, and society. This not only applies to the farmers we work with, but also every step of the process such as transportation and processing facilities as well.
​
By using farmers in the co-op, we are able to front some of their more expensive operating and startup costs so they can worry less about money and focus more on growing coffee. We also offer very competitive compensation when it comes to harvest time so that these farmers earn generous profits at fair margins. This practice allows them to pay their bills and reinvest in their farms so that generations to come can benefit from their hard work.
