At Harmonic Arts, we believe in the power of sustainable action and creating a positive impact on our community and the planet. Each year, we sponsor or donate a percentage of our profits to a variety of local and national educational, environmental and social impact organizations that make a difference within our communities.Â

CUMBERLAND COMMUNITY FOREST SOCIETY
As members of 1% For The Planet, we proudly donate 1% of our Herbal Latte and Artisan Tea sales to the Cumberland Community Forest Society (CCFS). We've also been anchor sponsors for their annual Fungus Fest since 2020. Inspired by their actions within our hometown community, we’ve found a number of ways to support their work over the years.Â
CCFS is a charitable society formed in 2000 with the mission to purchase, protect and care for the Cumberland Forest. Guided by the belief that standing forest is worth more to our community than timber, the organization is largely supported by individuals, organizations and businesses from across the region and beyond. To date, CCFS has purchased 500 acres of forest and placed it under a conservation covenant to ensure its future protection from logging.Â
