http://www.homepagecaffe.com Nature of Business: Specialty Coffee/Internet Cafe & Restaurant Mission: At the HomePage Cafe, we pledge to provide the highest quality organic, fair-trade products available served by well trained, knowledgeable, enthusiastic staff and unparalleled customer service. We are committed to increasing public awareness in the importance of fair trade in coffee and tea producing countries, as well as in the African communities whose artwork we exhibit. In so doing, we will strive to gain the respect, loyalty and trust of our customers, suppliers and partner vendors. Relation to Your Community: By placing the upmost emphasis on comfort, quality and hospitality, the HomePage has become the community`s home away from home. This is your place to meet with business colleagues and friends over coffee, tea and lunch, to study, to play or to just relax and enjoy the calm. We have worked hard to encourage and provide incentives to local non-profits to make use of our facilities. We support the Special Olympics by providing meals free of charge to teams. We donate day old baked goods to the Gallatin Valley Food Bank and provide donations of goods and services to local charitable organizations whenever possible. Sustainability Goals Your Company Embraces: The HomePage Cafe offers only the finest organic, fair-trade coffee and tea available. We are committed to supporting fair trade economics and organic farming in coffee and tea producing countries around the world. We have carefully chosen our suppliers for their commitment to these same principles. Our roaster, Grounds for Change, is a small family owned roaster in Poulsbo, WA. Their coffee is fair trade certified by TransFair USA, a third-party fair trade certification organization that rigorously monitors producers, roasters and distributors for adherence to fair trade criteria. All Grounds for Change coffee is certified organic by the Washington State Department of Agriculture, and they roast only shade grown coffee. GFC is a member of the Northwest Shade Coffee Campaign, a project of the Seattle Audubon Society, as well as a member of 1% for the Planet and donates 1% of total sales to local and national environmental organizations. For their work in promoting fair trade they are endorsed by Catholic Relief Services. Grounds for Change is a sustainable business. Not only do they reuse and recycle within their offices--including their burlap coffee bags, but they also use 100% renewable energy through Puget Sound Energy`s Green Power Program. They offset their energy usage through the local "carbon credits" program. They use exclusively 100% PCC paper.
