Climate Change | How we can make a difference
To do our part here in Simalungun, we decided to protect the fragmented forest that surrounds our coffee farm. This small forest is home to at least 5 species of monkeys and one family of apes, the black gibbon or ‘siamang’. The numerous species of birds, the bees and other ground animals who live here are also protected. Other indigenous animals find their way to our little forest and make their home here. We are currently in process of having the 20 hectare forest certified as a wildlife habitat conservation forest. Dream come true!

Some of our personal choices:
We chose to have shade grown coffee, and replant many of the indigenous trees that had been stripped from the forest when we bought the land. Shade tree plantlets are given to farmers in our collective.
We make our own organic compost from by products of pulping and hulling coffee.
We do not use pesticide or herbicide.
Our home and facility are run on solar power. Our coffee production equipment runs on a generator.
Rain water is cycled through for basic wash functions.

You can make a contribution to maintaining the biodiversity of this small forest and protecting the habitat of the animals (and people) who call it home. Each purchase of roasted coffee you make helps make us a sustainable business. We can’t maintain this forest without your support.

Perubahan Iklim | Bagaimana kita bisa membuat perbedaan
Untuk melakukan bagian kami di Simalungun, kami memutuskan untuk melindungi hutan terfragmentasi yang mengelilingi kebun kopi kami. Hutan kecil ini adalah rumah bagi setidaknya 5 spesies monyet dan satu keluarga kera, siamang hitam atau siamang. Banyak spesies burung, lebah, dan hewan darat lainnya yang tinggal di sini juga dilindungi. Hewan asli lainnya menemukan jalan ke hutan kecil kami dan membuat rumah mereka di sini.

Beberapa pilihan pribadi kita:
Kami memilih untuk menanam kopi di bawah naungan, dan menanam kembali banyak pohon asli yang telah dilucuti dari hutan ketika kami membeli tanah. Planlet pohon naungan diberikan kepada petani di kolektif kami.
Kami membuat kompos organik kami sendiri dari produk sampingan kopi pengupas dan penggiling.
Kami tidak menggunakan pestisida atau herbisida.
Rumah dan fasilitas kami menggunakan tenaga surya. Peralatan produksi kopi kami menggunakan generator.
Air hujan didaur ulang untuk fungsi pencucian dasar.

Anda dapat berkontribusi untuk menjaga keanekaragaman hayati hutan kecil ini dan melindungi habitat hewan (dan manusia) yang menyebutnya rumah. Setiap pembelian kopi panggang yang Anda buat membantu menjadikan kami bisnis yang berkelanjutan. Kami tidak dapat mempertahankan hutan ini tanpa dukungan Anda.
