At Mississippi Mud Coffee, we’ve always believed that great coffee starts with great people. This belief drives our commitment to working directly with farmers who grow our beans.
We partner with Thrive Farmers. This ensures that the farmers who grow our coffee get fair wages. They receive these wages regardless of the coffee market conditions. By supporting them, we’re also supporting their communities and families, helping them invest in a better future.
Why Ethically Sourced Coffee Matters
The global coffee market is unpredictable. Prices rise and fall, often leaving farmers vulnerable to unfair pay. That’s why we believe in ethically sourced coffee.
Our direct relationships with farmers help create stability and sustainability. Those relationships also allow us to bring you some of our favorite coffees, like the smooth, balanced Costa Rica Coffee Pods and the bright, flavorful Guatemala Light Roast.
These Farmer Direct coffees show our commitment to ethical sourcing. This means you and the farmers benefit.
Sustainability with Every Cup
As a sustainable coffee brand, we’re proud to offer both Whole Bean and Coffee Pod options in our Farmer Direct collection. But sustainability doesn’t stop with fair wages. We’ve made it a priority to reduce our environmental impact through air roasting, which eliminates carbon emissions. This eco-friendly process uses hot air instead of direct flames, allowing for a clean roast that’s better for the planet.
Beyond the environmental benefits, air roasting also brings out the natural flavors of the beans without burning or charring, creating a smoother, more consistent taste. Whether you’re enjoying a light roast or a dark espresso, air roasting ensures that each sip is rich and full-bodied without the bitterness that sometimes comes from traditional roasting methods.
For instance, our Farmer Direct Italian Roast Espresso, is ethically sourced, ensuring farmers receive their fair wages and then air roasted – producing no carbon emissions. It’s a bold, rich option that delivers a full-bodied experience, all while supporting sustainable practices.
Making a Difference
When you enjoy a cup of Mississippi Mud Coffee from our Farmer Direct collection, you’re savoring great flavor and helping support a system that values people and the planet. You can enjoy our Costa Rica Coffee Pods with their nutty flavors or our smooth Guatemala Light Roast. Either way, you can feel good about your choice.
You can look for the Farmer Direct badge throughout our site to easily find the coffees sourced through this program. And this is just the beginning. We’re committed to expanding our Farmer Direct options. We hope to support more farmers while bringing you the freshest, most ethically sourced coffee possible.
