Cherry Hill Coffee, based out of Kelowna is turning a deeper shade of green.
Cherry Hill is offering certified
fair-trade (allows the growers to compete globally by offering better trading conditions),
organic coffee (which is grown without using pesticides and chemicals). They have
3 delicious organic blends available for the holidays - Jack Frost, Gingerbread and Christmas Blend.
Cherry Hill also introduced a
take-out coffee cup made from sustainable materials. The
Ecotainer is made from a bio-plastic that is created from corn. These cups are 100% compostable and can decompose into water, organic matter and carbon dioxide.
Finally, they have partnered with a local compost and recycling company to establish a waste management program that takes care of the pickup of your compost. Every week, coffee grounds, ecotainer cups and other organic material can be picked up and converted into nutritious topsoil for local farms.
