Everything is set. We will be traveling to Oaxaca, Mexico the first week of March to visit our friends and growers in Miramar and Buena Vista.
-
On the agenda:
-
Monday – Travel day
Tuesday – Drive to Miramar (5hrs or so). We will visit our greenhouse and land renovation projects and start a new project with Circle of Women to bring health education to the women of Miramar.
Wednesday – Drive to Buena Vista which is pretty close to Miramar. We will visit the beginning stages of a coffee roasting project that we are funding. The farmers of Buena Vista will be actively selling roasted coffee in several markets throughout Oaxaca.
Thursday – We will visit a few other communities on our drive back to Oaxaca City to understand some new project opportunities.
Friday – Debrief in the morning and fly home in the afternoon.

I am very excited to see the progress of our projects and see where else we can have positive sustainable impact. I will attempt to update the blog throughout the trip if technology allows it.

Thanks for you support of Pura Vida!

We received the following email from a loyal Pura Vida customer. Thanks for letting us know Eric!
Cafe Kilimanjaro
“I am a long and loyal Pura Vida customer. I purchase Cafe Kilomanjaro coffee, and think it is THE STUFF. This past summer, I purchased my usual 6 lbs of THE STUFF, and it wasn’t as good, and the packaging was different. I was disappointed. However, I got an email from you this fall indicating that you were changing things for the better, and, in October, I ordered another 6 lbs to take advantage of free shipping. Well, I just opened the new stuff, and WOW – you brought it all back, and then some. I absolutely love it, and am SO glad it is back. Thanks!”
