Melk.cafe is a Montreal-based roastery that offers specialty coffee with a focus on holistic and regenerative farming practices. Founded by Dominique Jacques and Myriam Asselin, Melk.cafe sources 100% organic coffee from farmers who use biodynamic methods to enhance the soil’s natural fertility and biodiversity. Melk.cafe aims to deliver a premium cup of coffee that is not only delicious, but also ethical and environmentally friendly.
Biodynamic farming is a holistic approach to agriculture that goes beyond sustainability. It views the farm as a living organism that is connected to the cosmic rhythms and influences. By using natural compost, herbs, and minerals, biodynamic farmers stimulate the soil’s microbiome and balance the ecosystem. Biodynamic coffee is grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides, resulting in a cleaner and healthier product for both the consumers and the producers. Biodynamic coffee also has a richer and more complex flavor profile, reflecting the terroir and the harmony of the farm.
