About Heart & Harvest

Heart and Harvest is a program that came out of our 2023 visit to Honduras. Initially our trip's intention was for us to learn about the growing practices of coffee farmers, but it quickly became so much more.

Meeting local coffee farmers and spending time in their communities revealed to us the challenges they face, including fluctuating global coffee prices that can leave the farmers without enough money to afford even basic necessities, and sometimes even bankrupt the farms. This issue extends worldwide.

Our commitment is to finding dedicated, community-oriented farmers and establishing long lasting partnerships that improve the lives of the farmers and farms, ensuring the continued production of skillfully grown, delicious coffee.

Currently, over half of the coffee Muletown roasts is sourced from partnered farms.
