Guests can enjoy 16-ounce brewed hot, iced or cold brewed coffee for just $1 while supporting BIGGBY® COFFEE’s Farm-Direct mission.
East Lansing, MI (RestaurantNews.com) National and International Coffee Day is a BIGG deal at BIGGBY® COFFEE, and this year, the celebration is even sweeter. From National Coffee Day on Sunday, September 29 through International Coffee Day on 10/1, guests who stop into one of the 440-plus BIGGBY® COFFEE locations will be able to purchase a 16-ounce brewed hot, iced or cold brewed coffee for just $1.
The promotion is part of BIGGBY® COFFEE’s annual National and International Coffee Day tradition, designed to invite guests to raise a cup to the joy of coffee – and to the farmers who make it possible.
Alongside the three-day promotion, BIGGBY® COFFEE is highlighting its ongoing Farm-Direct program, which ensures the brand purchases coffee directly from farmers who treat their people right, care for the planet and invest in their communities.
Through Farm-Direct sourcing, BIGGBY® pays a fair price that allows producers to provide living wages and better conditions for farm workers. These values are verified through on-the-ground visits by OBIIS (One BIGG Island in Space), the organization co-founded by BIGGBY® COFFEE Co-CEO Bob Fish and his wife, Michelle. OBIIS visits every farm personally to build long-term relationships, evaluate practices and certify coffee as Farm-Direct.
In August 2024, BIGGBY® reached a major milestone: 50% of all coffee purchased across the system is now Farm-Direct. The company remains on track to achieve 100% Farm-Direct sourcing by 2028.
“Every cup of BIGGBY® coffee represents people, places and communities around the world,” Bob said. “This National and International Coffee Day, we’re inviting our guests to celebrate with us by enjoying a cup that does good for everyone along the way.”
BIGGBY® COFFEE currently partners with four direct-trade farms across the globe:
- El Recreo Coffee Farm – Carlos and Leana Ferrey, Jinotega, Nicaragua
- Finca Villaure – The Villatoro Family, Hoja Blanco, Guatemala
- Finca La Fortaleza – Pascual Castillo and Maria Esther Saut, Chiapas, Mexico
- Gorongosa Project – Sofia, Julius, Fatianca, Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique
These partnerships are creating a future where every BIGGBY® cup has a name, a face and a place.
Stop by your local BIGGBY® COFFEE from September 29 through October 1 to grab a 16-ounce hot, iced or cold brewed coffee for just $1 and join the celebration of coffee, community, and good vibes!
