Sustainable living is the ability for society to preserve our natural resources. The quality of life that we live now will ultimately affect future generations to live within a clean beautiful environment. The Organic Coffee Place supports environmental preservation by offering products that help society become effortlessly involved in sustainable living.

Organic coffee is grown in soil that has not been treated with chemical fertizlizers for at least three years. The Coffee bean plants are planted utilizing natural compost fertilization methods within a canopy of shade. The shade canopy is also becomes unique because many different tree heights allow the conditions to prevail housing for migrating birds and the like. The birds eat the insects from the coffee bean plants, which then prevents the use of any toxic and harmful pesticides. In order for plantation growers to provide these unique growing efforts in a responsible manner, organic standards have been implemented to certify organic producers are compliant with U. S. organic laws.

Several organizations have implemented standards and other efforts to sustain environmental preservation, sustainable living and societal trust in a distinct organic coffee product. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) provides US Organic Standards, Market Trends, Benefits of organic coffee including Species Diversity and Bio-diverse information. Other organizations supporting important efforts towards earth preservation, natural resource and sustainable living are; The Fair Trade Federation, Certified Rainforest Alliance, Certifed USDA Organic and the Smithsonian Migrating Bird Center - The Smithsonian promotes Bird-Friendly preservation through Shade Grown Organic Coffee efforts via standards and regulations.
