College of the Menomonie Nation visits Just Coffee

Here are some more oldish photos of Dr. Van Lopik and his students from the College of the Menomonie Nation visiting Just Coffee in June 2009.  Besides having a tour of Just Coffee's facilities they also had a chance to sit down with Hector for some good coffee talk about the coffee industry in general and coffee in Timor-Leste.

The College of the Menomonie Nation purchases coffee from Just Coffe to sell on their campus...Native Americans buying coffee grown and processed by indigineous peoples around the world.  College of the Menomonie Nation also supports its students to take Just Coffee delegation to visit the coffee producing groups that it works in solidarity with.  In 2005 CMN traveled with Just Coffee to Chiapas, Mexico to meet Zapatista coffee growers...a unique and wonderful experience indeed!
