“Be The Wagon”
Brazilian Whole Bean Coffee
When you purchase Wagon Coffee, you are changing lives by providing jobs, structure, and skills for women in recovery. For Wagon Coffee, “being the wagon” is simple. It’s about giving back. It’s about second chances. It’s about picking each other up when we “fall off”. It’s about making an impact locally & globally by purchasing ethically & responsibly sourced coffee that is roasted daily on our zero-emissions roaster!
“Clarity of the Mind”
Essential Oil
Savitur Botanicals aims to empower your health through the ancient wisdom of essential oils. Our organic, bio-certified oils are sustainably sourced from eco-conscious family farms and distilled in small artisan batches, assuring the innate plant intelligence is maintained. “Clarity of the Mind” is a handcrafted blend of rosemary cineol, peppermint, lemon, Indian basil, and grapefruit—perfect for dissolving stress and afternoon fatigue.
10 Bean
Soup Mix
Women’s Bean Project is a nonprofit social enterprise that connects a food manufacturing business with a transitional employment program. We believe all women have the power to transform their lives through employment, so we hire women who are chronically unemployed and we teach them to work making nourishing products that we sell across the U.S. Through their work at Women’s Bean Project, women learn to stand tall, find their purpose, and break the cycle of poverty—because when you change a woman’s life, you change her family’s life.
