Impact
We buy lavender from local Central Oregonians Heidi and Bob, a husband-wife team with several acres of plants devoted to Metolius Tea. Their garden promotes the health of the local bee population.
Our partner in Madagascar sources our vanilla direct from co-op farmers who practice sustainable farming in an effort to protect the unique rainforest biodiversity in the north-east coast of Madagascar. This direct-trade model ensures farmers are paid a premium for their crops.
