About the Producers

COOPAFSI is a unique cooperative simply because they empower and promote “women grown” coffee. These women are farmers, producers and quality control, contributing to the physical and sensory quality of this coffee. They are always managing new projects and developing new ways to improve the lives of their families, with a focus on improving coffee quality and delivering consistency to different markets. In 2016, a committee of women was created by the cooperative to distribute loans which will enable producers to improve their own land, while also taking part in new developments for their kitchens, crafts and livestock. The committee also created a computer lab which allows all members to stay up to date with modern technology.

What makes this coffee stand out

This is the fifth year that we've roasted this coffee—the first time was in 2018—and we continue to be excited by the work of these 90 coffee farmers. Many Peruvian coffees that we roast come from this same area of the southern Cajamarca growing region, around the municipality of San Ignacio. This Las Damas lot has always impressed us.

It means a lot to us at Driftaway to support these women farmers. At least 70% of the coffee production workforce is made up of women farmers, however they don't always recieve the same resources as their male counterparts; such as access to land, capital, and education to run their businesses. At Driftaway we aim to source 50% of our contracts from women farms.
