What does certified organic mean?
Certified organic coffee is grown and handled according to strict standards. The farm must keep records, follow approved farming practices, prevent contamination, and pass inspections by an accredited certifier.
Our organic coffee area covers approximately 9.3 acres, or 3.76 hectares, and coffee is the certified crop.
Is the entire farm organic?
No. A specific portion of the farm is certified organic and managed separately from the conventional coffee fields.
This means only coffee grown in the certified organic area—and properly separated and documented—can be sold as organic.
How is the organic coffee managed?
The organic plot uses practices such as:
- Natural ground cover to help protect the soil
- Mechanical mowing and manual weed control
- Approved organic inputs when needed
- Buffer areas between organic and conventional coffee
- Dedicated or carefully cleaned equipment
- Separate storage and detailed traceability records
The farm’s inspection confirmed that the coffee can be traced back to the certified plot.
Is organic coffee pesticide-free?
Not necessarily.
Organic certification prohibits many conventional synthetic products, but some approved biological, mineral, or natural products may be used when needed.
A more accurate description is:
Grown without prohibited synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides, according to certified organic standards.
From our farm to your cup
When coffee from the certified organic area is selected for Boarding Pass Coffee, it travels from our family’s farm in Brazil to our roastery in Georgia.
There, we roast it with care to highlight the coffee’s natural character and honor the work that began at the farm.
