Meet Aprocassi, a cooperative of 600 dedicated coffee-growing families across the provinces of San Ignacio and Jaen in Peru’s Cajamarca region. Their farms span elevations of 1,000 to 2,500 meters above sea level, producing coffee in some of Peru’s most exciting growing territory.
For Aprocassi, great coffee is just the beginning. The cooperative is equally committed to strengthening its communities and protecting the environment. One standout initiative empowers women coffee growers through beekeeping, creating new sources of farm income while supporting productivity and biodiversity.
They’re also looking at the bigger picture, having piloted a study tracking the environmental footprint of their coffee from farm to port, with the goal of becoming carbon neutral.
From supporting women in coffee to finding smarter ways to care for the planet, Aprocassi is proving that a better cup of coffee can help build a better future. And that's something we can all raise a mug to.
