- St. Mary's Coffee buying club: Honoring the Millennium Development Goals (the MDG's) through our commitment to stewardship of the earth and social justice, St Mary's has created a coffee buying club through Higher Grounds coffee in Traverse City, which sells and supports fair trade and environmentally friendly coffee. The company buys beans from independent farmers from all over the world and roasts it themselves. We will be ordering every month, but can order more or less frequently as is needed.
