Manos Campesinas strives to maximize the benefit of its activities by offering the highest return and best prices to member farmers, investing most of the profits in technical support. The association works with a small, core administrative staff as well as strong technical department working closely with farmers on the field.

Manos Campesinas is fiercely independent and proud of its self-sustaining and finanially responsible business model. They actively seek to avoid the need for external support from international governments and NGOs, which can often simply lead to more north-south dependency. The association’s seven strategic values include a commitment to social responsibility, quality, sustainability, gender equality, and environmental protection. They aim to be the first choice for customers around the world, not only for the quality of its coffee, but also for quality of service and the positive impact it has in it's members' communities.

Country Of Origin: Guatemala

Producer: Manos Campesinas Coop

Region: San Marcos

Despite support from the Catholic Diocese of Quetzaltenango, farmers still lacked the means to bring their product to market, and had to resort to selling to middlemen, “coyotes”, who cut them out of the greater market. It was with the goal of gaining direct access to international buyers that the Asociación de Pequeños Productores de Café Manos Campesinas was conceived in 1996. Organized as a secondary level organization, the cooperative developed direct export channels for a founding group of 6 farmer associations. Today, Manos Campesinas is comprised of 13 cooperative groups across the departments of San Marcos, Quetzaltenango, Sololá and Chimaltenango, and it represents over 1,200 farming families.

Fast Delivery- Great Beans

I tried the 3 kind of green beans and Guatemala is by far my favorite. I am using a very basic roaster and it produces a very decent third wave profile (city roast). Thank you!

Roasts a little unevenly, as there is a significant variety of bean size - but you can still get an excellent cup of coffee.

Shipping was quicker than expected, too!

Happy camper

It was great to get free delivery. It took the courier awhile as the package went up and down the valley more than once.
