History
Established in 2010.

Why Coffee? Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world. As such, coffee is grown all over the world and is a great in-road to ministry and development. My wife Kim and I had a coffee business in the early 90’s. We had an espresso cart we bought from a guy that used to work it in Seattle. We had espresso machines and the whole lot. We would work the cart at special events and ended up donating it to a church when we became involved in foster care ministry. So, coffee is in us and it is something we know. When we began working with former foster youth we found it difficult to find them employment. Being an entrepreneur, we thought about using coffee as a means to employ youth. I shared my vision with the team and Jonah shared knowledge of a coffee roaster back east. That is how Isaac came to us. I began discussing options with Isaac and then one day he just showed up in Bakersfield. Soon thereafter generous donors helped us purchase the roaster and the rest is history.
