Sandhill Coffee Community: Benchmark Coffee Traders
Benchmark is a leader in sourcing and distributing environmentally-conscious and community-driven coffee. It’s grown with social impact and sustainability at the forefront: Sigri Estate conserves water in nearly every possible aspect of the washed coffee process, the remote estate serves as a local habitat and sanctuary for over 90 species of birds, and Benchmark’s social impact mission helps support free housing, free healthcare, and free elementary schooling for all of the coffee pickers’ children and the children in the surrounding community. Benchmark has funded the textbooks for the estate elementary school for five years and is currently constructing a sixth school.
