Certified
Organically Grown
"Certified Organically Grown" coffee is coffee which has been
determined by an independent certifying organization to be produced without the
use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, insecticides, or other harmful
chemicals. The product must be labelled "Certified Organic" to guarantee that
it has been produced according to strict organic standards. |

What you
should know
Coffee
is the most chemically treated food crop in the world. The long range effects
of these synthetic chemicals jeopardize the environment and its ability to
support us.
Organic
farming, or sustainable agriculture, helps solve these environmental concerns.
Organic systems seek to imitate nature by achieving stability through diversity
and the recycling of energy and nutrients.
By offering organic coffee, Central Perc is
supporting a complex set of goals. The organic coffee movement is part
evironmental, part social, and part economical. This approach helps protect the
planet and the people who live on it. |

Modern
& Traditional Organic Methods
From nursery seedlings to the ripened cherries ready
for harvesting, extreme care is taken by farmers to stress the well established
p[rocedures of organic farming. Substantial methods, such as terracing,
composting, shading, and biological pest and fungus controls are used to
replace the dependency on petrochemicals. These farmers are giving back to the
earth what has been taken from it. This secures the land for future
harvests. |

Long Range
Sustainability
Sustainable agriculture promotes the long range sustainability of our
soil, ecosystem, and ground water supply, as well as the economic viability of
the farmer. Part of the profits from coffee sales are "put back" in the form of
shared agriculture information, investments in roads, health, and educational
projects, and banks and other social programs in the community. |
