we pay on average 20% above market price, because we believe in reinvesting in our partners. supporting our smallholder farmers helps them to invest in growing better quality beans and improving their quality of life. 

grounds only sources its beans from smallholder farmers. not only do they tend to consistently produce some of the best coffee, but we believe that supporting them is a necessity in preserving regional growing methods.

we care about our planet. grounds is committed to supporting these farmers and the environments in which our coffee is grown. maintaining these places is critical for a healthy and sustainable future.
