Inside Nicaragua’s Fair Trade Organic Network
Steady State isn’t just a name—it’s an ethos. The coffee hails from the Nueva Segovia region of Nicaragua, sourced through PRODECOOP, a second-level cooperative representing over 2,300 small farmers. Let’s put a face (or many faces) to the beans in your cup.
Who is PRODECOOP?
Imagine dozens of grassroots cooperatives working together to pool resources, share knowledge, and improve quality of life. PRODECOOP helps these farmers gain Fair Trade premiums, invest in community projects, and improve farming techniques. This isn’t just a supply chain; it’s a support system.
Why Fair Trade Organic Matters:
These certifications help ensure farmers receive fair prices, reducing vulnerability to volatile markets. Organic cultivation often means biodiversity, healthier soils, and no synthetic pesticides—just cleaner, richer terroir that translates into the cup’s balanced flavors.
Your Impact:
When you sip Steady State, you’re enjoying dark chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and subtle citrus brightness—but you’re also supporting a cycle of better wages, educational programs, and long-term sustainability. Every brew becomes a tangible vote for a more equitable coffee industry.
Beyond the Label:
It’s not only about the Fair Trade Organic sticker. It’s about the people who made it possible, the land that nurtured it, and the careful roasting that preserves its essence. PRODECOOP and its farmers are partners in quality—and you’re part of that story every time you enjoy a cup.
