Avanti Coffee

Avanti Coffee Company was created not only to showcase Haiti’s premium coffee crop, but also to empower rural mountain villages to thrive through economic development and ethical business practices. The coffee industry is a major abuser of human rights with widespread violations for child labor, inhumane living conditions, lack of latrines, and unfair wages. Avanti's pursuit of truly ethical coffee and their direct trade model eliminates all of that.

At Avanti, direct trade means they not only know who their farmers are, but they take time to understand their needs, get to know their families, and even work alongside them in the field on occasion. Avanti buys beans directly from the farmers, ensuring they are paid appropriately and that their dignity is protected. Their farmers are proud of their work. They tend to their crops with extra care and attention because Avanti coffee beans are the future of their families.

Guerson

"My name is Guerson. I have one child. Hurricane Matthew took away my house and all of my crops. This coffee initiative means so much to my family. I farm many things, but my favorite thing to farm is coffee because it has the most value. Thank you for supporting us. God bless you."

Jeancil

"I have two sons and two daughters. I am so happy to be an Avanti farmer. After I lost all of my coffee crops in the hurricane, I thought it would never be possible to farm again. I didn’t know how I would care for my family. I am grateful for this work and the value it gives us. Thank you for choosing to drink our coffee."
