Diaspora Co.

Diaspora Co. is a queer, woman of color owned business dedicated to putting money, equity and power into the hands of small, organic spice farmers across South Asia who are leading the way in sustainable, regenerative agriculture, and truly delicious spices. Our mission is to get freshly harvested, heirloom spices that were grown for their flavor and aroma into your hands as quickly and ethically as possible. As of 2021, we work with roughly 150 farm partners and over 1000 farm partners across 10 states in India & Sri Lanka. Growing a better spice trade - from small Indian farms to your kitchen. We put flavor first - for hundreds of years the spice trade has prioritized high volume and profits at the expense of taste. We work with heirloom seed varieties, and in constant collaboration with our partner farms to curate only the most delicious spices grown for flavor first. Equality is at the heart of our work - we pay our partner farms an average of 6x the market price for their produce. We recognize that the commodity food system is broken, and that as leaders in sustainability and regenerative ag, our partner farmers deserve a rich premium, as well as harvest advances, and full healthcare for all their laborers. We take our time - we spend anywhere from 6 months - 2 years sourcing a new spice - making several farm visits and always in search of true excellence. If we don’t find a good enough spice, we don’t launch it. Simple. Culture matters - South Asian flavors, stories and foodways are heroically underrepresented in the grocery and kitchen landscape. We’re giving context, nuance and color to the cuisines of our homelands and diaspora. We believe that a business rooted in cultural work and true community is one that’ll last.
