About the people who grow it
Cooperativa Norandino members grow coffee in the highlands of northwest Peru, on the western slopes of the Andes, close to the Ecuadorian border. All of Cooperativa Norandino’s coffee is grown by smaller family units. The average area farmed by co-op members is about four acres. The small property size allows them to dedicate all their efforts on the cultivation of coffee without damaging the forest and fruit trees which provide shade to the coffee and supply an important part of the families’ diets.
Cooperativa Norandino brings together several historically important Peruvian coffee farmer groups located in the departments of Piura, Tumbes, Amazonas, Cajamarca, Lambayeque and San Martín. They have a renowned reputation for social, economic and environmental responsibility, and operate with transparency and competitiveness, in order to strengthen and improve the member organizations and families, and to promote regional development.
