How Growers First Helps In 3 Steps

We strongly believe in giving a hand up instead of a hand out by acting as a life line to those in need.

1. Find Indigenous Growers in Need

We seek out local growers of coffee, mezcal, and hibiscus in the Oaxaca region of Mexico who struggle to survive and provide for their families due to their lack of resources and remote location.

2. Connect Growers To U.S. Buyers

By connecting growers in impoverished areas to U.S. based buyers who distribute around the country, growers are able to have the assurance that the crops they work so hard for blossom into profits.

3. Teach Growers Economic Stability  

By creating and growing thriving micro-enterprises, growers can produce a sustainable income for themselves and their families that contribute to a better economic and social quality of life.
