An important focus at Gimme is to form relationships with farmers who grow coffee. As part of this bond between consumer and producer, the farmer often receives a [[price premium]], which in turn, can help them improve their operations. Since 2009, Gimme has worked with a farmer in [[Colombia]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://vimeo.com/44283054 | title=Finca San Luis and the new mill project}}</ref> The producer was able to attain organic certification and win awards.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.goodfoodawards.org/coffee/gimme-coffee-finca-san-luis/ | title=Good Food Awards - Coffee - 2011}}</ref> This case exemplifies what relationship coffee means to the people at Gimme!
