You’ve probably read recent stories about the benefits of drinking coffee. It’s touted by experts as helping to prevent liver disease and diabetes. That’s good news for a coffee company that is doing more than just producing your morning pick-me-up. THRIVE Farmers has a new model that gives growers overseas a chance to have a stable and profitable business. The result? Changing families and communities. On our podcast this week, we interview the founder of Thrive from his farm in Costa Rica, Central America. WHO THEY ARE - IN THEIR OWN WORDS THRIVE Farmers is changing the coffee industry by supplying farmer-direct specialty grade coffee to retailers, wholesalers, and consumers through an innovative revenue-sharing model that eliminates the toxic volatility of the commodity market. THRIVE Farmers’ unique approach to the value chain allows farmers to maintain ownership of their crop and participate more fully in the market value of their coffee as it moves through the supply chain.
