 Antonio Chavajay, shown with a bull he received from Heifer International, is a coffee farmer from the La Voz cooperative in San Juan la Laguna in Guatemala. Antonio is a Fair Trade grower, and the bull helps him grow more and better coffee by producing organic fertilizer.
Heifer supports Fair Trade products, particularly through our partnership with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, which offers Fair Trade Certified TM  coffees, including the Heifer Hope Blend, a Fair Trade organic coffee grown by farmers such as Antonio.
Antonio and other coffee farmers are able to grow better coffee beans because of the manure bulls received from Heifer International produce. As a result their sales are increased by up to 75%.
This is just one success story. So many more farmers have the opportunity to improve the quality of their life when they partner with Heifer. In Antonio's case, he received a bull. Other families may receive chickens. Green Mountain Coffee helps with the coffee growing which is the farmers' primary means for supporting their families. In addition to all the work that is done with the animal, Green Mountain also helps farmers better their land for continual coffee production. It's a sustainable solution for the farmers in La Voz. You too can support Heifer by buying Heifer Hope Blend Coffee.
