Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-operative is a worker-owned co-op in Grand Pre (Hortonville), Nova Scotia that has roasted fair trade organic coffee since 1995, becoming Canada's first fair trade organic coffee roaster and, in 2011, the first roaster worldwide to adopt the Small Producers Symbol certification. Green coffee is bought from small-producer co-ops in Latin America, Africa, and Indonesia, then roasted and packed at the Nova Scotia roastery, and sold direct online and through Atlantic Canadian grocers, cafes, and farmers' markets.
Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor's Our Co-op page states it has operated since 1995 as a 100% Canadian worker-owned co-op, where any employee can become a member-owner, and madeinca.ca corroborates it as Canadian-owned and led. The Nova Scotia Registry of Joint Stock Companies, where a provincial co-operative would be registered, blocked automated access (HTTP 403), and Corporations Canada's federal registry search could not be queried directly, so this rests on the vendor's own statement rather than a registry filing.

Manufacturing
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor states its beans are roasted on demand at its own roastery, and a current job posting names the production facility at 11865 Highway 1, Hortonville, Nova Scotia, matching the Grand Pre Roastery & Head Office listed as one of its locations. All roasting and packing happens at this single Canadian site, so manufacturing is entirely Canadian.

Inputs
20.0 reportedother 100%
Green coffee cannot be grown in Canada, so the beans are imported entirely. The vendor's first shipment came from the Union de la Selva co-op in Chiapas, Mexico, its longest-standing partner is CCDA in Guatemala, and since 2011 it has bought through the Small Producers Symbol network of small-scale producers across Indonesia, Africa, and Latin America; madeinca.ca describes its beans as sourced primarily from South America. All of these origins fall in the OTHER bucket, so inputs are entirely non-Canadian, non-EU, non-US.
