Our story begins in the sunlit mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia—home to the San Roque farm, a 20-acre haven where coffee plants grow among advocado trees and wild birdsong. It was here that Juan B., a father, a farmer, and a humble force of nature, spent his final years doing what he loved most: caring for the land and producing exceptional coffee.

Juan B. didn't just grow coffee. He built a legacy rooted in hard work, integrity, and joy—a legacy passed to his daughter and son-in-law, who left Colombia in 2022 seeking new opportunities in Nova Scotia.

When Juan B. passed away unexpectedly in 2024, we were heartbroken—and far away. But giving up the farm was never an option. With the help of a trusted partner back home, we've kept San Roque alive and thriving. The coffee it produces remains the best we've ever tasted: grown at altitude, under shade, in harmony with the mountain.

Today, we roast our coffee in Colombia and hand-carry it to Little Dover, Nova Scotia, where we now live. Every bag we sell supports our farm, honors Juan B.'s memory, and helps us put down roots in the community that welcomed us with open arms.
