Our Partners Colombian Farmers

Andina Coffee is the creation of Maria Varela, who moved from Colombia to Scotland in 2017.  She knew that there was a market for speciality Colombian coffee in the UK and has worked hard to bring some of the best coffee beans to the UK.

Andina Coffee Co. considers the hard working coffee farmers – who handpick our best coffee beans – artisans.  Our beans travel thousands of miles from the Andean (Andina in Spanish) Region of Colombia, South America, to your cup.

We are proud to work with Fairtrade suppliers who provide quality coffee beans and fair working conditions for the artisan farmers.

Andina Coffee works with a Colombian Cooperative that joined 2,200 associated families in 12 municipalities of the Norte del Valle (Colombia). This Cooperative has been in the market for 55 years as a leader on the production and marketing of coffee in the northern region of the department.

Farmers that are part of the Cooperative can get support in different ways, such as:

DIVERSIFICATION OF CROPS

Coffee is a seasonal products and of course there are times that the coffee farmers do not have an income as their coffee is not ready to sell. For this reason our provider has created the Diversification of crops program which allow the coffee farmers to grow other kind of food in their crops while coffee is ready.

But how does it work? In the hectares that they have in their farms, our provider help them also to grow food such as bananas, avocados, etc so they can have another source of income.
