Under the existing coffee market, the corporations command the terms and conditions of the trade with farmers. What would happen if a family of coffee farmers in the Maya Chʼortiʼ region of Guatemala and Honduras set out to shift that dynamic so that the farmers were the ones in command?
Join Anticonquista Café co-owners, Elmer Fajardo Pacheco and Lauren Reese, as they share their story of forming a vertically integrated supply chain from their family farm to Chicago to challenge the status quo in the coffee industry. Anticonquista Café advocates for fair prices to fair wages, reparations for climate change to finance sustainable farming practices and to combat forced migration.
Stay after the presentation for Q&A and free cafecito by Anticonquista Café!
Anticonquista Café is proud to be Chicago’s first family farm-owned and operated coffee roaster.
