Our mission is two-fold: to restore the planet to a more livable state and to bring different cultures together. Located up in the mountains along the Pan-American Highway, south of San Jose where much of our world famous coffee is grown, Los Santos is part cloud forest, part rain forest. This pristine wilderness, and our ability to continue to produce coffee in it, are under constant threat from conventional farming practices and global warming. In an effort to return our Earth to a more livable state, and to preserve our local land for future generations, we have banded together with environmentally conscious community members as well as volunteer groups from across the globe. We know that with the involvement of so many passionate people, and the impact that our projects have, we will reverse the effects of global warming, preserve the Los Santos region, and break down cultural barriers. You are the missing piece we need to realize this dream.
