About

Cafe Campesino was founded in 1998, becoming Georgia's first and only 100% fair trade, organic coffee company. We supply individuals, coffee houses, markets, fundraisers, restaurants, and other organizations all over the country with some of the best artisan-roasted specialty-grade coffee available in the United States. We are a national online retailer and wholesale roaster-distributor with our headquarters, roaster, and flagship coffee house located in Americus, Georgia, birthplace of Habitat for Humanity and about 9 miles east of Plains, home of former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn.

Cafe Campesino is a founding member of Cooperative Coffees, a green coffee importing organization committed to fair or alternative trading relationships between farmers and roasters. We are also a member of the Fair Trade Federation and Georgia Organics.
