Order Coffee to Support Close to You Projects
Coffee is El Salvador's primary export. Over half of
the population makes its living
growing, harvesting or processing it. Farmers living in rural areas of El
Salvador do not
face an easy life because over 60% of rural Salvadorans live in poverty. Small-scale
coffee farmers especially have difficulty creating a better future for their
families. By
purchasing organic coffee from poor farmers, Close to You, Inc. will be able
to offer a
quality product to the public, while paying small-scale farmers higher than
normal prices
for their coffee to help them financially.
Close to You is selling strictly high-grown, organic, "eco-friendly" coffee that is shade-grown in the rich volcanic soil of the San Salvador Volcano in El Salvador, Central America. El Salvador coffee is known for its consistency in taste and quality. The coffee is from the arabica coffee plant (Coffea arabica) and is of the Bourbon variety. We offer freshly roasted, ground coffee in one-pound bags, for the price of $7.00 per pound (postage not included). Please place your order by clicking on "Place Order" below. Your purchase will be helping poor farmers and will be providing funds for Close to You projects. This year's coffee has been harvested and roasted by the Family Nerio.

Want to be a coffee distributor??
You could help us to raise funds by selling coffee locally, helping to ship
coffee ordered by mail, or getting a group together to sell coffee. This is
a perfect project for a youth group or a church fundraiser. Are you having a
church-wide or neighborhood yard sale? You could include a table with coffee
for sale. These are just a few ideas.
If you are interested in selling coffee in large quantities, please contact
us at closetoyouinc@hotmail.com.
Please include your mailing address, how you would like to help, and how many
