Our network
Every organization on this page is a Trading PartnerTrading PartnerA fair trade organic, farmer-owned coffee cooperative with an established trading relationship with Cooperative Coffees — the importing cooperative that supplies Campesino Organic and Sweetwater Organic. TPRN raises funds alongside them; they originate and run the work.: a farmer-owned cooperative that already sells its coffee to the roasters in our network.
The development work is theirs. Leadership training for women members. Wet mills and drying patios. Education loans, health funds, a farming school, a cooperative’s own written history. These are grassroots projects — identified, written, sanctioned, and managed by each cooperative’s own board of directors. TPRN does not choose them, design them, or run them. We raise funds alongside the cooperatives and report what happens.
These are not communities we went looking for. They are the ones already at the other end of a trade that has been running for years — in Pangoa’s case since 2008, in COMSA’s since 2016. When you contribute to a project here, you are sending resources back along a line that already connects you.
Four criteria — what our Trading Partners have in common
The cooperative is owned and governed by the small-scale farmers who grow the coffee.
Both certifications are independently verified, and the cooperatives carry them at their own cost and effort.
Their coffee reaches the network through Cooperative Coffees, the importing cooperative our member roasters buy through.
Each cooperative brings projects its own board has written and sanctioned, and continues to manage.
Also in the network
TPRN anticipates working with more than ten Trading Partner cooperatives. Full profiles for the rest of the network are in production — each one written with the cooperative, not about it.
Member dues and Sponsor gifts cover TPRN’s operating costs. Where payment processing or wire fees apply, we ask Contributors to cover them at checkout — and where they aren’t covered, Sponsor funds absorb them. The cooperative receives the full project amount, every time.
