This Only Works With Your Help: Coffee, Conservation, and a Mission Bigger Than Us
There are plenty of reasons to start a coffee company.
We started Flyway Brew Co. because we believed coffee could help accomplish something bigger.
From the beginning, our goal has been simple: provide people with genuinely fresh, great-tasting coffee while using the business to help support the people and organizations doing real conservation work.
And we want to be very clear about something:
This is not a gimmick. It is not a sales ploy. It is the reason we are doing this.
We Can't Do It Without You
Flyway Brew Co. alone isn't going to save America's wetlands.
We aren't going to restore the Prairie Pothole Region by ourselves. We aren't going to protect every acre of waterfowl habitat, build every wood duck box, restore every marsh, improve every nesting area, or support every conservation project that deserves help.
But together, we can make a difference.
Every person who buys a bag of coffee becomes part of that effort.
Every person who tells a friend about Flyway Brew Co. helps.
Every hunter who shares our mission with someone at duck camp helps.
Every outdoorsman or woman who chooses our coffee instead of grabbing another bag from a grocery-store shelf helps.
That's how something small can eventually become something significant.
50% of Our Profits Are Committed to Conservation
We have made a commitment that 50% of Flyway Brew Co. profits will go toward conservation efforts and the people and organizations doing the work.
That isn't a slogan we came up with because it sounds good on a coffee bag.
It's the foundation of what we're trying to build.
There are people across this country who spend their own time, money, and energy improving habitat, protecting wetlands, helping waterfowl, installing nesting structures, educating the next generation, and fighting to preserve wild places.
Some are large organizations.
Others may simply be one person with an incredible idea and the determination to make it happen.
We want Flyway Brew Co. to be able to help them.
Conservation Doesn't Always Have to Start With a Huge Organization
One thing that's important to us is recognizing that some of the best conservation work happens at the local level.
Maybe it's someone building and maintaining wood duck boxes.
Maybe it's a group restoring a wetland.
Maybe it's someone improving nesting habitat.
Maybe it's a landowner creating better habitat for ducks, turkeys, quail, pheasants, or other wildlife.
Maybe it's a small nonprofit doing incredible work that most people have never heard about.
Those efforts matter.
We want to hear those stories.
And as Flyway Brew Co. grows, we want our ability to support those efforts to grow with it.
Why Coffee?
Because millions of us already drink it.
Coffee is part of our mornings.
It's there before we head to work.
It's brewing at 3:30 in the morning before we load the truck and head toward the marsh.
It's sitting in a thermos in the duck blind.
It's waiting at camp after a cold morning outside.
So we asked ourselves a simple question:
If we're already going to drink coffee, why can't that cup of coffee accomplish something more?
That's the idea behind Flyway Brew Co.
You shouldn't have to make a donation and get nothing in return.
Instead, buy something you're probably already buying.
Drink great coffee.
Get genuinely fresh beans.
And help us put money back into conservation.
Fresh Coffee With a Purpose
The conservation mission doesn't mean the coffee gets to be an afterthought.
It has to be great coffee.
Our beans are freshly roasted and shipped the same day they're roasted because freshness makes an enormous difference in what ends up in your cup.
We want someone to try Flyway Brew Co. because they believe in the mission.
But we want them to keep buying it because they love the coffee.
That's how this becomes sustainable.
That's how we generate more money for conservation.
And that's how this mission grows.
We Want You to Hold Us Accountable
If we're going to say conservation is part of our mission, then we believe you deserve to see that mission in action.
As Flyway Brew Co. grows, we want to share the conservation projects, organizations, and individuals we support.
We want you to meet the people doing the work.
We want to tell their stories.
We want you to see what your coffee purchases are helping accomplish.
Because this shouldn't just be our story.
It should be yours too.
When enough people decide that their everyday purchases can support something they care about, those purchases can become something powerful.
Tell Us Who Is Making a Difference
We also need your help finding the people who deserve support.
If you know an individual, organization, conservation group, habitat project, youth program, wetland restoration effort, waterfowl project, or wildlife initiative doing meaningful work, tell us about them.
If you're personally involved in a conservation project, tell us your story.
Send us pictures.
Tell us what you're working on.
Tell us what you need.
Tell us what difference additional funding could make.
We can't promise that we'll be able to fund every project.
But we can promise that we want to hear about them.
Because someday, we'd love to look back and see hundreds of projects that received help because people decided to drink a different cup of coffee.
This Is Bigger Than Coffee
Ultimately, Flyway Brew Co. isn't just about coffee.
It's about mornings in the marsh.
It's about wood ducks dropping through flooded timber.
It's about mallards circling over cattails.
It's about turkeys gobbling on a spring morning and bird dogs working through an upland field.
It's about clean water, healthy wetlands, wildlife habitat, and wild places.
Most importantly, it's about making sure those things are still here for the generations that come after us.
We aren't asking you to completely change your life to help conservation.
We're asking you to consider changing your coffee.
You drink the coffee. Together, we help fund conservation.
That's the mission.
That's the promise.
And we can only do it with your help.
