Plant Certifications

Our industry can only be as healthy as the farming community responsible for the production of green coffee. Supporting Fair Trade and Organic programs is our way of helping to maintain the financial stability of the small growers and their families while ensuring the sustainability of the industry and the protection of the environment for future generations.

We also seek to offer choices to our customers that are respectful of their religious, cultural and ethnic values. We are proud to participate in the following programs by leading certification bodies:

Canterbury's plant is also certified kosher by our local rabbinical council. As with the Orthodox Union, our plant is inspected and approved as being in compliance with the requirements of Jewish customs. Why are we certified by two different bodies? It's a matter of recognition. Locals recognize the authority of the local council, while products that are exported require a nationally recognized symbol. More About Kosher...
