About Green River Coffee
Our Philosophy:
Green River Coffee wants to get you excited about freshly roasted coffee while creating an awareness of the circumstances surrounding the coffee industry.
Green River Coffee offers the community an alternative to the poverty and environmental harm attributed to mass-produced coffee. By serving only fair-trade and organic we are making a statement: farmers, their families and their countries deserve the right to a sustainable lifestyle and the ability to maintain their lands bio-diversity.
Green River Coffee cares about our community. We aim for a zero waste strategy using only biodegradable cups, reusable mason jars or natural Kraft bags for coffee beans.
Green River Coffee encourages mindfulness about our experiences as consumers. We want you to enjoy and appreciate all that a coffee bean has to offer and the entirety of its journey.
