In partnership with Road Coffee’s BeyondFair program, Micro-loans and supply chains - our commitment to sustainability means that every step of our supply chain is designed to maximize impact in coffee producing nations to Indigenous communities in Canada.
Solstice coffee beans are purchased directly from Indigenous farmers all over the world and roasted to perfection on English River First Nation land in Saskatchewan.
The Des Nedhe Group and Road Coffee have partnered to launch Solstice Coffee, a venture that is changing the Canadian coffee scene. Solstice Coffee is proud to be the first coffee company in Canada to establish a fully Indigenous supply chain, connecting Indigenous growers worldwide to an Indigenous roastery in Saskatchewan.
Our commitment to sustainability means that every step of our supply chain is designed to minimize our environmental footprint. From responsible farming practices to eco-friendly packaging, we believe in preserving the land that brings us our coffee.
As we scale Solstice Coffee & Road Coffee Inc. this supports our mission to develop an Indigenous workforce. Allowing us to create more diversified opportunities on reserve land.
Many coffee producers are forced to sell their products at a loss due to predatory supply chain practices or a lack of access to coffee buying markets. These producers grow high-quality coffee but lack the connections and access required to sell coffee in markets that fairly value it. We are opening new markets for coffee producers to sell their products profitably.
Road Coffee micro-loans offer low-rate financing to independent farmers, many of whom are single mothers who are raising their families on their farms. The growers who have been part of the micro-loan program have seen an average increase of 25 cent per pound in their crop value. We are working alongside farmers to help create a more economical sustainable supply chain.
A portion of our sales will go towards an annual provision that will be set aside for Indigenous students. We are committed to fostering leadership and skill development for the next generation of leaders.
In partnership with Road Coffee, we exist to disrupt the coffee supply chain and change the way coffee is grown, sourced, and sold. We are raising the industry standard for coffee and coffee producers to thrive.
