Choose A Cause — For Good
Coffee for Community
Dark-roast coffee from an island in Maine
Named after the Royal Tar circus ship that sank off Deer Isle in 1836, this dark roast connects our island community with coffee farmers worldwide. Woman-owned 44 North Coffee sources from B Corp certified Coop Coffees with farmer-owned cooperatives that invest in community development, education, and sustainability. 6 oz.
Chai for Community
Organic chai blended in Maine
This organic chai is lovingly blended just across the bridge from our Deer Isle home in Downeast Maine by ChaiWallahs of Maine, a woman-owned company that has been bringing people together around warm mugs since 2009. The slow cooking process offers a moment to pause, be present, and connect with those around you. 3 oz.
Walnuts for the Watershed
Dry-farmed heirloom walnuts from California
These certified organic walnuts come from our long-time partner Jutta of Manzanita Manor in Paso Robles, CA. Jutta's walnuts are dry-farmed with no irrigation beyond natural rainfall, a radical approach in a state where conventional walnut orchards consume thousands of gallons of precious water per pound produced. 5 oz.
Chocolate for Change
70% cacao bar with Maine sea salt
Crafted in collaboration with La Nef Chocolate and featuring sustainably-harvested sea salt from Slack Tide. Just down the bay from our home in Deer Isle, La Nef was founded on Monhegan Island by artists-and-chocolatiers Mandy and Dylan. All of their bars support other makers, farmers, and artists in their community. 1.75 oz.
Caramels for the Climate
Caramels made with Maine sea salt and honey
These slow-crafted herbal candies are made by Virgo Moon in Mechanic Falls, Maine, using local ingredients. Each small batch supports Maine's local food system while delivering pure, buttery bliss. Virgo Moon donates a percentage of sales to support harm reduction and recovery organizations in Maine. 1.75 oz.
