Our newest Cause Coffee helps to Save The Redwoods.
Thanksgiving Coffee Company has quite literally grown up in the redwoods. More than 50 years ago, the redwood forest, rivers and ocean are what drew us to the Mendocino Coast. We live and work near beautiful trails, winding green rivers, and giant trees – some here for generations longer than we. Once again, these forests are under threat, so we’ve partnered with Mendocino Trail Stewards on a cause coffee to support their conservation efforts.
