Encouraging Healthy Ecological Systems
The finest coffees in the world come from farms with healthy soil, clean water and bird-friendly habitat. Our Certified Organic coffees have been farmed without the use of pesticides or other synthetic inputs. As members of the Northwest Shade Coffee Campaign, we are committed to purchasing coffees from farms where rustic shade protects the coffee and provides a home to migratory birds.

Honoring Farmers and their Families
At Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters, we have found that the best way to ensure our access to fine coffees is to develop direct relationships with farmers and to pay a fair and sustainable price for their coffees. All our Certified Organic coffees carry Fair Trade certification which guarantees farmers a fair price, suitable working conditions, and community development.

Moving Toward a Greener Future
We have been purchasing 100% of our electricity from renewable resources since 2000. As pioneers in this effort, we have been awarded numerous environmental awards and are members of the EPA's Green Power Leadership Club. Our sustainable business practices also include using solar energy at our Olympia roastery, recycling and composting and purchasing eco-friendly service items.

Environmental Leadership
All coffees from Batdorf & Bronson Coffee Roasters are produced using 100% renewable energy.
Certified Organic
Certified organic coffee has been farmed without the use of pesticides or other synthetic inputs, which may include chemical fertilizers, herbicides and fungicides. Genetically modified seeds or plant stock are prohibited from organic farms.
Fair Trade
Fair Trade guarantees that farmers from participating cooperatives receive a fair price for their coffee, have suitable working conditions, take part in a democratic decision-making process and maintain high standards of agricultural stewardship.
Shade Grown
Shade trees play a vital role in regulating both the temperature and soil composition of the coffee farm. Shade trees also reduce the sun stress on coffee plants and provide mulch from falling leaves and fronds.
