- Purchases of Rogers Estate Coffees Help Workers/Protect Nature and Wildlife at Coffee Farm Communities
Rogers Estate Coffees today launched a special "Buy One, Get One Free" promotion program for its award-winning, Fairly Traded Organic Coffee Company range which also enables customers to protect rainforest and wildlife or even build a school, medical clinic or house in Central American coffee communities.
Whilst stocks last, consumers who purchase a 227g bag
"Community Aid" sets a fixed price for five to seven years - much more than the average market price under the Rogers' "Fairly Traded" approach - and ensures the long-term viability and productivity of "source" communities.
In cooperation with farmers and with the help of customers and business partners, "Community Aid" has completed hundreds of social and environmental projects. Projects include building more than 1,000 houses as well as medical facilities, and dozens of schools and day care centres for thousands of coffee farm workers and their families. Community Aid also provides permanent educational programs and scholarships, doctors, nurses, teachers, food and clothing, clean drinking water and energy systems and also protects rainforest and wildlife from poachers. All Community Aid funds go directly to social and environmental projects with none to 'administration.'
"The 'Buy One, Get One Free' program represents a small token of our
great appreciation to our customers throughout the UK," said Rogers Estate
Coffees Vice President
ROGERS ESTATE COFFEES GROWN IN CONCERT WITH NATURE:
Rogers Estate Coffees are made exclusively from carefully selected Arabica beans cultivated by traditional farmers in the world's premier coffee "source" regions. These exceptional farmers use traditional production techniques to grow beans as nature intended - under a lush canopy of tropical trees, habitat for hundreds of bird species such as toucans and migratory warblers, and rainforest wildlife such as jaguars and tree frogs. To boost production, many coffee farmers have switched to full sun farming and destroyed native shade trees, leaving little possibility for wildlife habitation.
These coffees are certified 100 percent organically grown and pesticide free. The company has also purchased and operates its own organic farms - a practice which is unique in the industry.
