Experience Grassroots Social Impact
On your tour you will hear the term “social impact”, but what does that really mean? For us, social impact is making sure that we have a positive impact on the communities we live and work in, as well as the amazing places we explore with our tours. We believe that truly experiencing a place “like a local” means having meaningful engagement that supports local, community-based organizations and learning about their causes and the people making them happen. Just as we carefully select the places you’ll visit and the food you’ll try, we have also carefully selected our social impact partners to showcase the amazing work being done in our communities.

With a strong commitment to community & sustainability we are proud to partner with Bird & Branch. At their coffee shop, they have created a job-training program for people with barriers to employment. They teach trainees barista skills as well as soft skills required to obtain and retain employment, as well as helping connect individuals with opportunities to grow in the industry.
“If we are trying to empower and restore people through our job training program, it only makes sense that our products also work to empower the people behind them. Whether you enjoy your coffee black and in its purest form or in one of our signature drinks, know that it was responsibly sourced.
We know there are a ton of coffee options, and many that roast closer to where we are, but when we sat down with Kevin Bohlin, the founder of Saint Frank, and talked about the vision and mission for our shop and also about what Saint Frank was doing, we established a true connection. We love that they are relational in their sourcing, recognizing the social and cultural distance between coffee producers and consumers, are committed to sustainability, responsibility, and empowerment, and, let’s not forget, roast some amazing coffee.
Now that we’ve begun to roast our own coffee, we are working with Bonaventure Coffee, the importer that was established by Kevin and Benjamin Paz in 2020 as a way to connect Honduran producers with new roasters after losing their contracts due to the pandemic. Our green coffee-buying goal is to purchase coffee from producers over a long-term, hoping to establish a relationship and provide more stability, allowing them to invest more in their farms, their produce, and their own families and towns.”
