Cafe Imports Partners with Urban Farming!

May 6, 2010
Cafe Imports is proud to announce they are partnering with Urban Farming by donating used burlap bags to support their cause.  The burlap bags leftover from our green coffee can be used by this organization as a weed preventor in their gardens.  It seems like it is a no brainer that something good should be done with all these bags, and we believe that Urban Farming is the perfect organization to help out.

From Urbanfarming.org... 

"Urban Farming began in 2005 with three gardens in Detroit, Michigan, which is the Urban Farming Headquarter City. In just four and a half growing seasons, Urban Farming has now expanded into thirty cities across the country and abroad with the equivalent of over eight hundred gardens based off of a twenty by twenty foot garden size. In addition to the Urban Farming Garden programs, the Urban Farming Model includes solutions to some of the contributing factors to hunger such as unemployment, lack of access to healthy produce and poor educational opportunities."

We believe that this is an amazing organization that has found a way to not only feed the hungry and disadvantaged, but also teach people life long lessons regarding farming and self reliance. 

We encourage ALL customers that have extra burlap bags to contact Urban Farming in their area to let a local representative know that you have bags you would like to donate.  Lets extend the life of these bags and put them to good use improving our neighborhoods!
