NCBA CLUSA member Pachamama Coffee Cooperative, a farmer-owned, farmer-governed cooperative with a U.S. base in Sacramento, is hoping to further integrate its operations by adding the ability to roast coffee beans in house.
The roaster, which would occupy Pachamama’s midtown Sacramento gallery and factory store, would benefit CoffeeCSA, Pachamama’s community-supported-agriculture-model business that allows a direct connection between U.S. consumers and Pachamama’s owner cooperatives in Peru, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico and Ethiopia.
