Why women coffee farmers?

Women play a vital role in coffee production but often face barriers to land, training, and fair pay. By empowering these women with education, leadership opportunities, and fair market access, we help improve their livelihoods and foster sustainable, equitable growth.

Every purchase fuels professional development workshops, community initiatives, and sustainable farming practices led by women. This not only elevates coffee quality but also strengthens families and local economies—because empowered women invest more in their communities, creating lasting positive change.

With Berracas Café, you’re not just enjoying exceptional coffee; you’re supporting a movement for gender equality and sustainable development in coffee-growing regions.

Berracas Café

Annual Sustainable Futures Workshop

Gigante, Huila / June 23-25, 2025

Cultivating Innovation

Each year, Berracas Café hosts an innovative design sprint that brings together women coffee farmers and their families in Huila, Colombia. This collaborative workshop creates space for participants to envision and develop sustainable farming solutions tailored to their communities' needs.

During this dynamic gathering, farmers

  • share knowledge with industry experts

  • strengthen community bonds

  • and design forward-thinking agricultural approaches

The highlight of the event is the Sustainable Farming Futures competition, where farming families present their visions for community improvement. The winning project receives comprehensive support from Berracas Café, including guidance through the funding application process and resources to transform their concept into reality.

By connecting these visionary farmers directly with Brooklyn consumers through the Berracas Café brand, we create a meaningful bridge between communities. Every cup represents ongoing collaboration that advances gender equity in agriculture, improves livelihoods, and cultivates sustainable farming practices for generations to come.
