Why We Do OrganicQCS

Good for YOU!
Our coffee is Certified Organic, which means that the organic integrity of every bean we roast is guaranteed from the tree to the cup. In order to obtain certified organic status, Desert sun Coffee Roasters must carefully document each step in the supply chain: from growth, to harvest, to our facility in Durango, Colorado, and ultimately to you. Our Certified Organic coffee provides the health benefits of a chemical free lifestyle for you. Organic is about more than the healthiness and quality of our products. It is making informed choices about the products you buy and feeling good in knowing that you are helping others.

Good for Farmers
For farmers, organic practices promote health for the land, for farmers and their families, and for future farming generations. It promises quality of life, a clean environment and a nutrient-rich land, free of toxic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. To us long lasting coffee means choosing organic beans that are grown without harmful chemicals and in ways that help the soil and water for generations.

Good for the Earth
Organic coffee is grown and harvested without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, generally on small farms under lush jungle canopies. This natural habitat is home to a diverse population of birds that act as a natural defense against bugs, and pests, which can ruin a coffee crop. Organic farming practices promote respect for the earth and its many precious eco-systems.

Promote Organic Practices
Organic is a lifestyle not just a procedure. Organic means a healthier life for farmers, the earth and the environment. Organic promotes sustainable practices and helps to maintain natural ecosystems. It links farmers, roasters and consumers in sustainable relationships.

Only Purchase Organic Certified Coffees
Organic is not something we do, it’s all we do. 100% of the time! We haven’t added organic coffee to our business because it’s popular. We sell only fair trade and organic coffee as a business practice and philosophy because we believe in it. We strive to increase, incorporate, promote, and inspire sustainable practices in our daily operations as a philosophy of business.
