Purchase Coffee Beans From
​Izotalillo, El Salvador
Arlington Café    beans are sourced directly from the small village of Izotalillo, El Salvador.  The cool, mountain climate creates a smooth, rustic coffee with a mellow, nutty-chocolate flavor profile, perfect for slow sipping and savoring.​  

During   El Salvador's   brutal  12 year Civil War Izotalillo was destroyed and villagers fled for their lives.   Survivors returned  and   rebuilt in 1993,   planting coffee, beans and corn.   These coffee beans are the fruits of their labor.  100% of proceeds  support  health, education and leadership projects in Izotalillo and   Teosinte, El Salvador. ​   Order coffee beans by e-mailing us at   [email protected].    Ask us about joining our Coffee Club!

Purchase Jewelry From
​The Jaragua Artisan Collective
​
​The Jaragua Artisan Collective began in 2002 by six women in the marginalized community of Colonia Italia in San Salvador, El Salvador, a community plagued with gang activity and police violence.   With their art the Collective not only support their own families but strengthen their community by creating a community library and a learning center where youth receive art therapy and take classes in English, math, health and sexual education, stress reduction and community organizing.  The collective has a special focus on young women, teaching them leadership and work skills, even creating a girls soccer team to promote team building and self-confidence.    We buy each piece directly from the artists and pay them over 2x what they can sell it for in El Salvador.   Your purchase directly supports these artists and the community of Colonia Italia, San Salvador.

Contact us anytime to purchase at   [email protected]  or find at us craft fairs including: Town Day, Bishop School Craft Fair, and Family Folk Choral Concerts.
