Where we want to go we cannot go alone.
create |
To create a love for profoundly good coffee among the people of Tyler and friends of Doulos across the map.
There is good coffee, which tastes good, and then there is profoundly good coffee, which tastes good and is good to all the people involved in the process of bringing it to you.
A lot of people love coffee. Our hope at Porch Culture is for people to love people through coffee.
Porch Culture coffee beans come to us direct from the Dominican Republic. Our connection with Spirit Mountain Coffee Plantation and Ecological Reserve began before Porch Culture was even an idea. The farm is connected with Doulos, the school we worked for in the Dominican Republic. As part of our jobs we had the privilege of leading student camping trips and hosting US work teams on the farm.
This was our transition from a love for coffee to a love for people through coffee.
You may not ever meet our friends on the farm or at the school but when you choose profoundly good coffee you are choosing to love those friends of ours through coffee.
give |
To give generously and be a channel for others to do the same.
Our plan from the beginning has been to be a coffee business that is built around community and giving. We are not the first “profit with purpose” business. There are many outstanding examples that proceed us. We gleaned from their experience and developed a giving plan for Porch Culture.
$3. That is where we arrived. $3 from every bag sold online is given to Doulos.
But we are just a channel for giving. It is your choosing Porch Culture coffee that does the giving.
We also know other profoundly good work is going on around us. Which is why we offer Porch Culture fundraising campaigns for local non-profits, churches, and schools. $3 from every bag of coffee through a Porch Culture fundraiser goes to the work of partnering non-profits.
restore |
To be a catalyst of restoration and renewal on the farm, in education, and within the city of Tyler.
On the farm. There is so much to say about Spirit Mountain. They are not just a connection we happened to have but a project and a place that we deeply believe in and a story we were eager to be a part of. In addition to 80 acres of organic coffee, the farm is also an ecological reserve with 1000’s of trees planted over the last 10 years. The farm is still more than that; it is a learning extension for Doulos, where students come to experience the outdoors as a classroom.
When you purchase Porch Culture you are choosing a farm that loves people through agriculture
In education. Doulos ignited our imagination with what education can be. A school dedicated to building bridges, equipping leaders, and serving the community. Just like Spirit Mountain there is so much to say about Doulos. They are also a story we are eager to be a part of. They are the beginning of our story in fact.
When you purchase Porch Culture coffee you are choosing a school that loves people through education.
Within the City. After being away for several years we are just getting to know Tyler again. It did not take much searching to find there are profoundly good stories of restoration taking place. We want to help those stories along and bring more people into them as well.
When you purchase Porch Culture coffee through a Tyler based fundraiser you are choosing to be a part of loving you neighbor through coffee.
