About Green River Coffee
Our Philosophy:
Green River Coffee wants to get you excited about freshly roasted
coffee while creating an awareness of the circumstances surrounding
the coffee industry.
Green River Coffee offers the community an alternative to the poverty
and environmental harm attributed to mass-produced coffee. By serving
only fair-trade and organic we are making a statement: farmers, their
families and their countries deserve the right to a sustainable
lifestyle and the ability to maintain their lands bio-diversity.
Green River Coffee cares about our community. We aim for a zero waste
strategy using only biodegradable cups, reusable mason jars or natural
Kraft bags for coffee beans.
Green River Coffee encourages mindfulness about our experiences as
consumers. We want you to enjoy and appreciate all that a coffee bean
has to offer and the entirety of its journey.
