Our Commitments

Beyond Fair-trade

We are committed to providing the highest of quality of ethically sourced products while simultaneously ensuring that every hand involved in the supply chain is honored & paid to thrive, not to simply survive.

Did you know?
According to Fairtrade International, fair-trade cacao beans in Guatemala are currently priced at $1.00 per pound, while the cost of production is $1.30 per pound. At Tierra Fresca, we pay our farmers roughly 20 Quetzales per pound of raw cacao beans, which is equivalent to $2.60 USD per pound.
Thrive > Survive
By paying our farmers over 2.5X above fair-trade wages, we empower them to thrive in their lives, break free from the cycle of poverty, as well as to produce premium quality cacao (vs focusing on quantity).

Our Commitments

Regenerative

We’re not just organic—we go beyond it. Tierra Fresca proudly sources ingredients from farms that practice regenerative agriculture, a step further than traditional organic farming. This includes techniques like agroforestry and biodiversity protection, which help restore the land, enrich the soil, and combat climate change. By regenerating the earth through these practices, we ensure that our ingredients are not only sustainable but also contribute to the healing of the planet. This means you're nourishing your body with the purest superfoods while making a positive environmental impact.
