Farm to Cup Partnerships

Together with the farmers, we control and preserve the coffee’s quality from inception to indulgence, from farm to cup. We work with consumers and with coffee experts in the San Francisco Bay Area to provide feedback to the growers to help improve the farming processes, and we are excited to unleash our newest coffees with each year’s harvest.

  • Finca Santa Marta

    Coffee is not just a hobby or a career for David Rodriguez, Sr. It is a way of life. From an early age, he learned how to cultivate coffee in a traditional, natural, and sustainable way from his father, Don Laureano Rodriguez. As a child, his fondest memories are running among thousands of coffee plants. It was here that he succumbed to the magic of both the process and product of coffee farming. From the aroma of damp earth and dry grasses to the euphoria of that first sip, the spell put on the senses is undeniable. It wasn’t long until he dreamt of having a coffee farm of his own.

  • Finca Peru-Paris

    Finca Peru-Paris is a 150-year family tradition of coffee producers. They believe thier responsibility lies with the soil where they grow our coffee plants, the families who help us harvest them, and the customers who enjoy the result of our efforts. They continue to make this our way of life—with respect, love, and transparency.

    The farmers reinvest profits into their farm and the surrounding community—supporting fair wages, education, and sustainable farming initiatives for Mexican families who grow and harvest the beans.

    All of theses coffees are ethically and sustainably sourced through direct trade with a family farm in Tapachula, Chiapas in Mexico. This approach supports the land, the ecosystem, and the Mexican families who cultivate and harvest each bean. From farm to roast, we’re committed to preserving coffee-growing traditions and protecting the environment.

    • Larry's Produce


      Larry's Produce is not a coffee farm - but Larry Balestra is very much a kindred spirit. A fourth-generation farmer whose grandfather emigrated from Italy and settled in Green Valley farming cherries and peaches, Larry studied crop science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and opened his produce stand on Suisun Valley Road in Suisun Valley with his wife Lisa in the summer of 1986. What started with 40 acres and one employee has grown to more than 1,200 acres and 80 employees at peak season. Larry's goal has always been a simple one: "To sell what people need, the basics." That commitment to community, land, and honest work is exactly why the Pony Express-o is proud to call Larry's our summer and fall home. We are grateful for his generosity and his welcome, and we are honored to serve his customers and community from our spot on the corner, overlooking the vineyards and hillsides of beautiful Suisun Valley.

    • Mountain Cider Company

      More than 30 years ago, in addition to having apple orchards, the Gormly family also grew trees and operated a Christmas Tree farm. In order to offer hot cider to their tree farm guests without having left over cider at the end of the day, they started using a maple evaporator to make apple cider concentrate. Under the same principle as making jelly, this cider concentrate is shelf stable, and therefore ready to be used whenever needed. All they use are apples, boiled down and mixed with a traditional blend of spices to complement the flavor. The concentrated apple cider features rich flavors, all-natural nutrients and nothing else!

    • Chemparathy Estate - Kerala, India

      Our chai and black tea come from Chemparathy Estate, a family farm nestled in the Western Ghats of Kerala, India, in the biodiverse Idukki district. Josh Chemparathy and his family cultivate cardamom beneath a native forest canopy and work closely with neighboring small family estates and tea gardens throughout the region - maintaining complete transparency from harvest to cup. Through their brand Kathas, the hemparathy family brings these ingredients directly to the United States, preserving generations of South Indian agricultural knowledge while ensuring the farmers who grow these ingredients remain an essential part of the story. As Josh describes it: "Farming isn't just about producing ingredients - it's about preserving generations of agricultural knowledge, building long-term partnerships, and creating products that connect people to the place they come from." We could not agree more.

    • CocoaSupply - Ecuador

      The cacao in our house cocoa blend begins with a family story that spans five generations and more than a century of farming in Ecuador. It starts with Celsa, a determined and visionary woman who inherited her family's farm in the Los Rios province at a young age and ran it with
      her husband long before it was common for women to lead in business. Her grandson Jose, seeing commodity traders exploiting local farmers, founded one of Ecuador's first cocoa processing factories. Today, CocoaSupply carries Celsa's spirit forward through her great-granddaughter - working directly with small farms and cooperatives throughout Ecuador, paying prices above Fair Trade minimums, and maintaining complete independence from exploitative international traders. Their Royal Mahogany Dutched Cacao is fairly traded, minimally processed, and rooted in a generational commitment to the farmers and communities behind every harvest.
