Foothills Coffee: Brew good, do good

Your morning brew can be good for you, good for the planet and good for the local community, too.

Foothills Community Care partners with Warntina South roastery Bodacious Coffee to create the unique Foothills Blend, using beans from Papua New Guinea, Brazil and Uganda, and bringing flavours of coffee, honey, nuts and caramel for a satisfyingly earthy and fragrant sip.

For Bodacious Coffee director Justin Metcalf, a good cup of coffee is steeped in respect. That means respect for the origins of the beans and the farming and production process; respect for the communities doing that work, and respect for the plant itself. Foothills Blend beans are Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning they support sustainable practices and fair working conditions.

At the other end of the pipeline, sales support our community meals nights and food relief programs, providing people with connection and support with dignity.

Order your beans online, or pop into our new Foothills Community Hub cafe for a taste test.
