As a coffee lover, it is important to make sure that the beans you purchase are produced sustainably. That means not only ensuring fair wages for farmers’ labor but also using practices that do not pollute land and water sources. There are plenty of brands which prioritize both: Here are a few to look out for on your next grocery run:

Trader Joe’s works with a non-profit to verify all of the coffee bean regions from which they source coffee to ensure no pesticides or harmful chemicals are being used in farming practices, and work closely with growers to ensure harvests of superior quality – this makes their coffee one of the top organic and fair trade options available today.

Austin, TX residents looking to combine their love of coffee with making an impactful statement will appreciate this coffee shop, located near Austin’s Texas State Capitol building. They use beans from family-owned farms in Nicaragua that have been hand picked so no subpar beans enter their blend. Small batch roasting takes place while their team tests every cup to ensure it meets high standards for quality.

Higher Ground is another brand to look out for that uses only 100 percent organic, Fair Trade and shade-grown coffee. They purchase wind power credits as a way of subsidizing renewable energy costs; as well as giving back through nonprofit organizations that focus on trail preservation and clean water projects. Furthermore, all packaging used by Higher Ground is biodegradable and recyclable – they strive towards zero landfill waste!
