It offers justice through a fair price for the farmer, and hope to both the farmer and consumer. It's all about life together in this world God created for all of us.

Meru is purchased directly from small farmers through their local coops. It is shipped to Milwaukee, roasted to order, then distributed to consumers through "Ambassadors" in 60 plus congregations and is also shipped to supporters nation wide. The objectives of the project center on bringing economic and social justice to the small farmers and people of the Mt. Meru region in Tanzania.
