Great coffee starts long before it reaches your cup. It starts with the farmers, communities, and ecosystems that grow our beans. Coffee grown under a natural tree canopy supports biodiversity and protects the habitats many species depend on.

Coffee — Grown Regeneratively
You may already know that Salt Spring Coffee is a fully organic coffee roaster. Since 2024, we've also been roasting Regenerative Organic Certified® coffee. While these terms are often used together, they each play a different role in how coffee is grown and how farms are cared for.While organic coffee is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, regenerative organic farming goes a step further. It's about improving soil health, supporting biodiversity, and farming in a way that helps restore the land over time.
One of the most important ways many of our coffee producers do this is through shade-growing. Rather than clearing forests to grow coffee in full sun, coffee plants are grown beneath a canopy of trees. This creates habitat for birds and other wildlife, helps protect the soil, and allows coffee to mature at its natural pace.
