OrganicJeremiah's Pick is committed to supporting farmers that grow quality coffee and practice social responsibility as a way of life. This commitment begins at the farm and continues through to our operations in San Francisco. Our company was founded in 1993 and has roasted organic coffees since 1996. We offer a comprehensive selection of specialty grade coffees with an emphasis on innovation and artisan roasting. Our coffees are certified as organic annually by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) under the USDA regulations. The key to long term success in coffee is quality. Jeremiah travels the world each year seeking out family farms and cooperatives that meet our quality standards. By establishing personal relationships with farmers who support long-range investments in land and people, we insure consistency and integrity in our products. We enter into long-term at fixed prices to ensure that these growers stay in business and more importantly, are profitable enough to continue to invest in their farms and production methods. Superior coffee can only be created if the land and people who grow it are respected. Producing premium quality coffees and educating coffee drinkers about their importance leads directly to stability and a better life for these farmers. That is why we emphasize quality and personal relationships with growers. We work with several organizations that certify that our coffees as grown in a socially responsible manner including the Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade and Utz Kapeh as opposed to just one. Mandating a particular method of certification by trying to define what is "fair" narrows the number of growers we can work with. Many growers do not qualify under a particular group’s standards or may not be able to obtain certification for a variety of social, economic or geographic reasons. They too deserve our support. A brief overview of each of these organizations follows. In addition, Jeremiah’s Pick coffees are the only ones in North America roasted in an ecologically correct roaster. Our roaster’s unique design greatly reduces harmful exhaust and by-products of the roast process while using less energy. The whole drum method of roasting ensures that no flame ever comes into contact with our coffee beans, creating flavor differences that you can taste. Here at our San Francisco facility we provide quality jobs to our 16 employees, all of whom live in the Bay area, including 7 who work in our warehousing and roasting operations. Each of them earns a living wage and benefits such as health care, sick time, on the job training and paid time off. Our commitment to responsible coffee roasting is infused with real passion.
