One of our favorite bean origins is Costa Esmeraldas, in Ecuador.  Freddy Salazar and his family have a beautiful farm and fermentation facility in Same, where they provide stable employment and economic benefits for the town.

But, Ecuador has been extremely hard hit by COVID-19 so Freddy and his family have set up a foundation to raise money for medical supplies needed to help fight the virus.  We know there are many needs out there right now, but if you’re able to donate to help their cause it would certainly be appreciated.

For more information or to donate visit their foundation website.
