Meet this business minded family who call themselves “The D6”. Seems they’re either on the ice or making memories together building a businesses on ethically raised coffee beans, expert roasting and can do attitude.
Their beans are “direct trade coffee,” or bought through the Farm Gate process. Farm Gate means that a price was negotiated with the farmer directly “at the farm gate,” or without any of the confusing export and import fees.
SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FARM GATE AND FAIR TRADE?
Farm Gate allows coffee bean producers to make premium prices for providing high quality coffee. This exchange allows the farmers to continue to invest in improving their bean production.
I recently found out that owner Marlene helped another local coffee shop stay afloat once the pandemic hit. Read about true community HERE.
What I know about Stir Stix coffee is that it tastes great, and was served with a smile at every farmers market I’ve seen them at!
Follow along with their coffee business journey on Facebook and Instagram.
