behind the brew

 I was born and raised in the heart of rural Mississippi, a place where hard work is a way of life, family is who always has your back, and you greet your guests with pie and all the coffee they can hold. Faith and family helped foster a community that was always centered around a cup of fresh brewed coffee.  Sipping it with my parents on the front porch surrounded by all 12 of my siblings (that’s right my parents had a “Baker’s dozen”) was my favorite thing to do. 

Simply put, it was a way of life. Nowadays, when I visit home it’s the same story for me. The raucous laughter of a full house, front porch sittin’ with some of my favorite people in the whole world, a cool morning breeze blowing through the woods surrounding my childhood home, and coffee. I’m now away from my beautiful home state, married to the love of my life, following him on whatever crazy adventure the Marine Corps chooses.  Wherever he drops his flak, is where I roast the coffee, and the place we call home. 

But, no matter where the military sends us, what state we call home, or whatever duty stations take us outside of American the beautiful, I’ll always be a Mississippi girl at heart.  My greatest passion is bringing you a gourmet, artisan brew with a hand crafted touch and a hometown feel. Coffee always brings me back to that front porch and to the people I love. Wherever you call home, I want my brew to bring you the same nostalgia and heart warming feel that brings me so much joy. Choose me as your roaster, and I know that one sip later…you’ll feel at home.
