  WHAT IS UNDERGROUNDS? Undergrounds is first and foremost a place of relaxation and comfort.  Undergrounds was opened to give an less traditional option for discussion and fellowship.  Guests can come to Undergrounds, have a cup of coffee, tea, or chai, visit with friends you know (or don't know yet)  in a friendly Christian atmosphere.  Friendship, open discussion and comfort are the bywords.  We plan to schedule entertainers, topic discussions, and just coffee and visiting hours.  On Sunday mornings, you can come down, have coffee, skim the paper and listen to the sermon (piped from above).  No pressure.  Donations to Undergrounds go to feed the hungry.
 
 

COFFEE, TEA, & MORE

FAIR TRADE COFFEE PROJECT

One answer for small-scale farmers is fair trade. Fair trade shares the bounty of the coffee trade with those who grow the crop, helping them build a better future for themselves and their communities.

 

By working together and pooling their resources to form a cooperative, farmers can sell their coffee directly to international buyers without relying on middlemen. Through fair trade, farmers receive a fair price that covers their cost of production and guarantees them a living wage for their labors.

 

Fair trade far surpasses the temporary assistance provided to farmers through charity. Instead, the ongoing business of fair trade consistently contributes to the living conditions of farmers, their families and their communities. Cooperatives use profits from fair trade coffee sales in establishing community improvement programs such as training in organic farming, leadership development, schools and health clinics.

  Not a coffee drinker?  Yes, we also have a nice selection of herbal teas, Chai and even some cocoa.
