Since the early 1800s, Virginians have flocked to the natural springs of the Shenandoah Valley to recuperate during the warmer months. The healing powers of the springs were famous, and coffee in the columned springhouse was a morning ritual. Let these traditional flavors offer you a home away from home, and be the "cure" that rejuvenates your day!
Honduras COMSA Marcala
In the year 2000, 62 Honduran coffee farmers joined together with a common goal to transform their farms from conventional to organic production and formed COMSA (Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A). In 2001, fostered by a foundation called Funder, COMSA earned their organic certification from Bio Latina which has enabled them to market their coffee to more international buyers and realize better selling prices for their coffee. In February 2006, COMSA then applied for and was granted Fair Trade certification status. COMSA uses the Fair Trade price premium to fund many social projects including paying teachers’ salaries and purchasing school supplies.
