From Farmer’s Market To A Brick-and-Mortar
Rising for People Coffee is unique because it focuses on sustainability and intentional support of small, family-owned coffee farms. The company strives to partner with farms that use natural, chemical-free farming methods and prioritize fair trade practices. Beyond supporting farms that have adopted chemical-free practices, Jones adds the company is committed to ensuring farmers are paid living wages and supporting women-owned farms to ensure gender equality in the coffee industry.
Jones Launches Crowdfunding Campaign To Help With Smooth Transition
When Rising for People Coffee reopens, the Midtown café will feature Reno’s first Roast on Demand Service: freshly roasted beans using an energy-efficient, gas-free electric roaster that aligns with the company’s goal of reducing its carbon footprint.
“Funds will help outfit the new location and ensure a smooth transition,” a statement reads in a news release. “To contribute, visit this link or text ‘RisePeople’ to 53-555.”
The new café will be located at 121 Vesta Street in Midtown, which Jones describes as a “vibrant area poised for development.”
