The basis of Higher Ground has always been an effort to run an environmentally conscious business. All of the coffee & espresso we serve at the cafe are 100% organic and fair trade. All of the teas we serve are also organic.

​

In today's world it is important to be aware of the little things we can do to promote a healthier earth. Although our to-go cups are already 100% recyclable, any reusable mug-carrying customer receives a discount for their effort in saving a paper cup, and all of our to-go food containers are compostable.

​

We regularly donate to community events, green-initiative fundraisers, and other co-operatives in the city who share our passion for green-living.

 

As of March 2009, Higher Ground no longer sells bottled water. The energy and time put into making these products is not earth-friendly. We are happy to offer filtered tap water as a thirst-quenching (and free!) substitute.
