Hello,
Welcome to Pudam Khuan Village, Laos.

Growing coffee is hard but rewarding work, and definitely worth it.
Before, the micro-farmers were vulnerable to the constantly changing global coffee prices. In addition, they often had to sell their coffee to middlemen, leaving them with very little.
Now the Slow farmers are earning fair, stable, and transparent prices for their trade and even have access to other benefits like an emergency medical fund.
Our mission is to grow great coffee, and protect the forests and nature of Laos.
On behalf of everyone - we hope you enjoy Slow coffee!
