By selecting organic coffee, you are supporting farms that do not utilize harmful chemicals, helping keep soil healthy while supporting local ecosystems. Furthermore, organic coffee often has more of a natural taste, highlighting all of its flavorful beans more.

Fair Trade Certified coffee can help support farmers and their communities. With fairer prices for farmers and reduced risk of price volatility, Fair Trade Certified allows them to invest in community projects designed to improve living standards in their families and villages.

Safeway offers a selection of fair trade coffee, including single origin beans. Each region or farm where it was harvested yields unique flavor profiles due to climate, soil conditions and other environmental considerations that influence growth conditions in that location.

Fair trade coffee differs from organic in that organic involves no pesticides while fair trade involves how the farmer is treated – from pricing, sustainable farming practices, environmental sustainability and strong supply chain transparency – through to encouraging ethical treatment between seller and buyer as well as creating mutually beneficial relationships between workers. Furthermore, fair trade supports biodiversity enhancing practices while discouraging deforestation while supporting worker-established community development funds that invest in projects to improve living standards in communities – such as providing access to water supplies, sanitation or education initiatives that may benefit both parties involved – organic simply doesn’t.
