We at the Buena Vista Roastery, home of Bongo Billy's Coffees, make every effort to maximize the effectiveness of what we do and what we practice so that what we do is simultaneously socially, economically and environmentally sound. This takes a lot of work and a lot of changing paradigms around us. The road is long and there are many bumps, but we are doing all we can.

We use Holistic Management as a framework for our decision-making and to model our guiding principles, including the Holistic Financial Planning process. We also integrate a strategic planning mechanism based on the same materials that once tracked troop movements in the African War, later turned into holistic planned grazing documents. We also work with a monitoring strategy based on a Cuban model of sustainability.

We are creating new models for business, including coffee roasters. We strive to be a regenerative business, utilizing organics, fair trade, rain forest certified product, as well as working to strengthen our own local community.
