HÆRFEST COFFEE PARTNERSHIP
HÆRFEST (pronounced “harvest” from an Old English variant) is a coffee outreach company that utilizes the HÆRFEST of coffee to impact lives and create positive change. HÆRFEST COFFEE partners and participates with UMAR in many ways; the most notable being their sensory packaging labels. You will find many different UMAR artist’s work on the labels that owner, Toby, and his wife, Cheri, commission or purchase. A portion of each Bag of coffee sold also goes directly to UMAR, maximizing their ability to support us. You can find HÆRFEST COFFEE at many of our events as we are excited to continue to partner with them! To learn more about who HÆRFEST COFFEE is and what they do, click the button below.
