Caught in the middle of an ongoing civil war, the farmers of Fondo Paez are committed to nonviolence and remain neutral as the conflict continues sporadically throughout their land. Their struggle for peace guides these farmers as they work to retain their ancestral farming practices. In addition to cultivating coffee, the farmers collect seeds and cultivate native beans and corn to provide a healthy diet for their families. Higher Grounds has proudly purchased coffee from Fondo Paez for nearly two decades.
