By Growing Together

Traceability is a concept that goes beyond just putting a name and a face on a product. For us, it is a two-way path, which allows us both actors, producers and bartenders: to grow, learn, create, develop, imagine and definitely profit.

Working with the MartĂ­nez Galicia family, from the town of San Gregorio Atlapulco in the south of Mexico City, we propose the development of a cooperative system that allows us to improve the quality of our raw material, train and raise awareness amongst our staff regarding sustainable, ecological and responsible practices, and develop ideas that help us create better experiences for our customers. In addition, this commitment allows us to have a direct channel for the reuse of our organic waste, which urges us to minimize the amount we generate, and ensures the optimal reuse of final organic waste through a composting system.

The basis of this commitment is a fair price scheme that allows the producer to receive the highest market price for the products that they grow, and that we need for our operation. The increase in real terms only superficially increases the final sale price, but the profit it generates in the chain is much higher.

We propose to implement this project immediately in 4 bars, but it also has viable short-term scalability, made possible by a distribution center that will allow us to benefit many more bars and families in the region.
