With some help from the Presbyterian, Lutheran, Catholic and Mennonite churches, the coffee growers in Chiapas, on the southern Mexico/Guatemala border, formed a cooperative. All members of the families farm the land, plant and grow the coffee bushes, harvest the coffee beans, and prepare the coffee for shipment to their Agua Prieta Roaster on the U.S./Mexico border for roasting, packaging, and shipping to markets in the U.S.
No more do the fathers have to leave home to find work in the United States. The cooperative supports their families and supports the entire village of Salvador Urbina. The coffee (regular and decaf) is for sale in Swain Hall after church during Fellowship Hour for $9.00 a pound; thank you for your support!
