Introducing Peace Plants, our new Coffeeponics Facility

UPDATE: We’re sorry to say that we won’t actually be launching our Coffeeponics farm (April Fools!). We will leave coffee farming to our incredible growers around the globe. But what is truer than ever is our commitment to the environment. During the month of April, we are partnering with Grow Ahead, to plant one coffee tree per order placed to help coffee-growing lands continue to flourish. This is in addition to our continuing work with the Climate, Carbon, and Coffee (C3) Initiative, in which we, alongside other like-minded coffee roasters, invest three cents per pound of coffee purchased back into initiatives to help farmers adapt to climate change.

Here at Peace Coffee, we’ve always been about investing in our community here in Minneapolis. That’s why we’re excited to announce our coffee is becoming truly locally grown with our new Coffeeponics facility in downtown Minneapolis!

Changing the game for coffee-growing

Studies estimate by 2050, half of the world’s coffee-growing lands will become unsuitable for coffee due to climate change. Hydroponics has been used to grow everything from salad greens to tomatoes to marijuana year-round in colder climates. “Coffeeponics is a true game changer,” says Will Steger, Arctic explorer, and climate activist.

Knowing so many downtown Minneapolis office buildings are at half-occupancy, we saw an opportunity. With thermostats already in place and sprinkler systems that can be easily retrofitted, it was the perfect fit. And the best part? Travel from our roastery to our Peace Plants facility is just under three miles–easily covered by our signature fleet of bike deliverers.

Doubling down on sustainability

Our first Coffeeponics farm is slated to be up and running by spring 2024–with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting tomorrow: April 1, 2023. Until then, Peace Coffee, in collaboration with Grow Ahead, will plant one tree per every order placed in April, Earth Month, to help coffee-growing lands continue to flourish.

Paired with our continuing work with the Climate, Carbon, and Coffee (C3) Initiative, in which we, alongside other like-minded coffee roasters, invest three cents per pound of coffee purchased back into initiatives to help farmers adapt to climate change.

We’re excited to usher in a new era for coffee-growing, right here in our hometown.
