Growing coffee. Brewing change.

About Us
Our organization aims to create a sustainable, comfortable, and satisfying life for Honduran farmers who produce the coffee beans we sell, as well as the communities they belong to. We do so by using the majority of our profits to provide additional opportunities to farmers that may not be available in Honduras such as a high value market.
We strive to give our customers an excellent cup of coffee while promoting a fair price to the farmers we work with. Our coffee is considered specialty grade with a cupping score greater than 80. Cafe El Zapote is a not-for-profit company located in located in Ames, Iowa and we sell coffee all across the United States through our online store.
We use our coffee to inspire action.
