We have been printing labels for SFB Coffee – or Roger’s Coffee – for quite a while now. The image above features one of their vintage designs and currently, we mostly supply them with clear printed self-adhesive labels, with an adhesive kill to the back. That type of label is very popular with any product that needs to be resealed – like coffee, pasta etc.
Rogers Coffee
On their website we learn:
Jon and Barbara Rogers met when they were just kids and through years of living on the same street, formed a friendship.
When Jon was drafted into the Army and was told he was being deployed to Germany, he knew there was only one thing he wanted to take with him, Barbara. He called up his then friend (that’s right, they weren’t even dating!) and proposed to her over the phone. A stunned Barbara said she would call him back and two weeks later, they were wed! They came back to the US after two years of living abroad to start their family where they had four kids.
After years of working in New York and living in Connecticut, Jon and Barbara decided they were ready for a change and found a small bankrupt coffee and tea company all the way in California. They took a leap of faith and ended up landing on their feet!Today the 86 year olds live in Granite Bay with their two dogs and their four children and their 14 grandchildren nearby!
Coffee and more!
San Francisco Bay Coffee is more than just another gourmet coffee comapny – they have a mission to fulfill.:
[…]The foundation of our company is helping our farmers and their communities. Each year we set up a fund to help the farmers we work. To date we’ve built over 63 schools, 1,700 housing communities and over a dozen medical centers.
We’re proud to do our part to take care of the farmers who give us so much and by buying our coffee, you’re helping farmers all over the world.We have worked hard in the past 40 years to help our farmers improve their methods of farming through education and practice. In this time we have been able to increase our farmers crop yield in some regions by 10x!
Bettering the lives of the farmers we work with is one of our biggest missions as we strive to Grow The Largest Family In The World.
You can actually learn a lot about their farmers on their website – including heartwarming family portraits and images depicting local surroundings and farmers at work.
Four Pillars of Change
As a way of safeguarding the sustainability and fair trade in their industry, SFB Coffee believes in the following Four Pillars of Change:
Pillar 1
Pay the farmer above the cost of production.
Since 2015, the cost of coffee has decreased by 60%, leading to farmers being unable to support themselves and their families.
Pillar 2
Work to improve the quality and quantity of coffee that farmers produce on their farms.
Over the years, we’ve implemented new, unique practices into the production of our coffee. Starting from how we grow coffee, all the way to how it is delivered to our customers, we’ve evolved our farming, roasting, and packaging methods to meet the highest standards.
Pillar 3
Improve the social condition of the farms.
Improving the conditions of the farm goes hand in hand with improving the quality of our coffee. In our 40 years, we have donated over 10 million coffee plants to our farmers and provided housing and schools to their families and their community.
Pillar 4
Improve the social conditions of the community.
Over the past 40 years, we’ve built and staffed 12 medical centers, 63 schools, and built over 1,700 housing complexes for farmers and their families. Since doing so, we’ve been elated to see changes in the communities.
We feel prod to be a supplier to a company like SFB Coffee. We admire their work ethos and firmly believe their hard work will pay off and bring not only prosperity to both the owners and the farmers but also a massive sense of achievement and sat!
