Challenges – Davidson College, a highly selective independent liberal arts college, was trying to find a way to be a leading cash operation in the NACUFS organization by concentrating on sustainability, social consciousness, and providing a high quality cup of coffee.

How Buffalo & Spring solved the challenges –B&S offered a line of Fair Trade and Organic Coffees that gave us a variety of options to attain our goals. They provided us with equipment, service, and marketing materials that focused on Coffee Kids and their initiatives at country of origin. Also, with their donations to Coffee Kids, we were able to market our commitment to the global community. 


“S&D Coffee has always stayed on the front lines of sustainability and has been proactive in ensuring that we remain there as well. In my 20 years in the restaurant industry, I've never seen a company reach out so aggressively and proactively to ensure we reach our goals within the college community.” -Michael Henshaw, Union Café Manager
