Nonprofit Overview

Mission: As Green As It Gets is a non-profit organization focusing on economic development and environmentally sustainable agriculture in Guatemala. We partner with producers from impoverished Guatemalan communities. We select our families based on their potential to produce marketable products. As Green As It Gets places a strong emphasis on protecting the environment and land restoration as an integral part of business management.We believe that economic development is the key to reversing the poverty cycle. Our objective is to lift our producers out of subsistence agriculture by helping them attain skills that can be traded for their sustenance; thereby providing excess resources beyond their survival needs.

Working at AGAIG has offered me the chance to challenge myself in a freindly, positive environment! I have since learned the entire process of coffee production, gotten to know the local farmers as well as helped to expand our markets for people to try all over North America! If you are looking for a great place to learn about the coffee and artisan world- all while challenging yourself in areas that you feel you will thrive- working for as green as it gets is the place to be :)
