How we select partnered farms
Meet family Rodriguez, one of our first partners
Introduction to our team
At Sustainabean we choose our partners carefully, focusing on shared values rather than volume. We work directly with small farmers who prioritize quality, environmental protection, and fair working conditions. Transparency and long-term collaborations are at the heart of all partnerships we establish.
Farmers can apply to partner up with us, but we mainly approach farms and families ourselves. We visit each potential farm ourselves to ensure that all the conditions we expect from our partners are also fullfilled.
Located in the Peruvian highlands, the Rodriguez family has been farming coffee beans for generations. Their farm is truly a family business, with knowledge passed down from generation to generation. This connection from knowledge about their land and farming is reflected in the rich, balanced flavor of their coffee.

By partnering with families such as the Rodriguez family, Sustainabean supports farming communities while bringing you coffee that’s produced responsibly and full of taste.
