MEET OUR FARMERS
Phoenix Roasters Foundation is currently partnering with coffee farmers in
Panama, Guatemala and Mexico in the best coffee growing regions in the world.
We partner directly with farmers who have a heart for their communities and together we work to bring dignified hope and relief through jobs, affordable housing, education, medical care and church planting.
The Caballeros
PANAMA
Our farmers in Panama, the Caballeros, are a multigenerational farming family. For three generations, their farm has provided meaningful and dignified work that provides a livable income to local families. Their investment in the community doesn't stop with the farm, it stretches into their local community through dental work, providing food at a nearby hospital, and more. In addition, the Caballeros are using coffee to financially support close to one hundred missionaries stationed in gospel-hostile countries around the world.
The Navichocs
GUATEMALA
The Navichoc farm has operated on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala for four generations. Their commitment to the community has been noticeable for even longer. They provide jobs to the community through their coffee farm and run a construction business specializing in building homes for families across the country. The Navichocs are a mission-driven family. They have planted churches and invested in the local school system, including filling a first-time school counselor’s position to help students and families deal with various types of trauma. They have helped facilitate crucial medical care to local women and children, including the addition of a birthing center to their church and construction of a purification system to provide clean water to their community.

The Lopezes
Mexico
The Lopez farm emerged as an answer to prayer for them to secure the resources needed to help their communities. Sustainable living wages for their farm workers while treating them with dignity and respect have fostered more stability in the worker's family structure. This allows the coffee workers to stay and thrive in the community without being forced to leave their families for better job opportunities. The Lopezes, their missionary team, and their coffee farm provide services such as medical brigades, medicine, food, and clothing throughout their coffee-growing community. The relief provided creates margin for spiritual discussions, and lives are transformed through their unconditional love.
