All organic. All the time.
From our rigorous standards to the way we collaborate with farmers, we pride ourselves on producing only Certified Organic coffee, batch-roasted daily.
When it comes to pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, coffee is one of the top-sprayed agricultural crops globally. Many have accepted this as the norm, but we’re here to inspire customers to choose better coffee and inspire the industry to do better as a whole.
Regenerative Organic Certified®, builds upon the legacy of the organic movement by promoting holistic agriculture practices in an all-encompassing certification that:
Coming soon: We are working hard to bring you custom statements for why we recommend each product on our website. For now, please see our general statement and product criteria page.
The short answer: This product made it to our curated list because it has achieved certification through well-established and respected organizations with its ingredients sourced from regenerative agriculture. FYI: We are currently establishing a way to list non-certified products with transparency about the farm's regenerative practices.
WORK HARD. BE KIND. GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.
Our mission is to source and share exceptional, organic coffee that inspires people to work hard, dream big, and impact the world.
FROM THE GROUND UP
People always celebrate success at the finish line, but at Groundwork, we know good things come to those who put in the work. We understand the struggles, the effort, the failures, and the small wins and losses along the way. Because we live it every day.
WHY REGENERATIVE?
Research indicates that the impacts of climate change could cut the areas where coffee thrives in half by 2050. That means, in less than three decades, your daily cup of joe and the livelihoods of smallholder farmers worldwide are in serious jeopardy.
The most effective step we can take to secure the future of coffee is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as promote, purchase, and encourage the expansion of regenerative organic farming.
Regenerative Organic Certified® is a revolutionary new certification for food, apparel, and personal care ingredients. Regenerative Organic Certified® farms and products meet the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.
With regenerative organic agriculture, we can rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers. We can sequester carbon, build healthier communities, and reap more nutritious and abundant yields.
In practice, regenerative organic agriculture can look like cover cropping, crop rotation, low- to no-till, compost, and zero use of persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
All Regenerative Organic Certified® products and farms must also meet the requirements of the USDA Organic Certification.
The USDA organic regulations describe organic agriculture as the application of a set of cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that support the cycling of on-farm resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. These include maintaining or enhancing soil and water quality; conserving wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife; and avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering.
Organic producers use natural processes and materials when developing farming systems—these contribute to soil, crop, and livestock nutrition, pest and weed management, attainment of production goals, and conservation of biological diversity.
We want to make sure that all products listed here align with our community's values. We do our best, but need help from you if you feel that there is something that we should be aware of about their regen ag practices, sources, supply chains, etc.
