We are celebrating of our coffee supplier of 9 years! Desert Sun Coffee Roasters prioritizes fair trade for farmers, and environmental sustainability by working with organic farms. This award is well earned!!

Honored to have won Small Business of the Year from the Durango Chamber of Commerce!

Here's the write up in our local newspaper this morning: Desert Sun was praised for its organic and fair-trade practices, mission to support economic independence among coffee farmers and focus on livable wages.

Desert Sun is no stranger to winning awards. In 2020, the coffee roaster took home the sustainability award from the Specialty Coffee Association.

“I believe that Desert Sun can be more than just coffee. We exist to make the world a better place. It’s something that is a big fundamental belief of mine,” said owner Zach Ray upon winning the award. “We believe in changing the status quo and innovation and new ways to conceive how one might do business.”

Desert Sun is a member-owner of Cooperative Coffees, the sole roaster-owned coffee importing cooperative in North America. That enables it to engage in direct negotiations with farmers and foster close relationships with those who grow their coffee.

Desert Sun also received a platinum-level green business certification from 4CORE for its sustainable work with farmers.
