Backyard Beans Coffee Co. began its journey in 2013 with a passion for coffee roasting, starting with a grill in the backyard. Within a year, this passion evolved into a thriving business. Today, Backyard Beans boasts a state-of-the-art roasting & brewing facility and two bustling coffee shops. Founders Matt and Laura Adams, alongside their dedicated team, are committed to sourcing sustainable, specialty-grade beans and fostering a vibrant coffee community. Backyard Beans is built on the values of cooperation, care, and enthusiasm. The company's mission extends beyond coffee, focusing on philanthropy, environmental sustainability, and creating a global backyard where people and the planet thrive together. Under the Backyard Beans umbrella, One Village Coffee Roasting is a second brand that stands as a testament to the company's values. Established in 2007, and a founding B Corp, One Village Coffee brings together farmers, roasters, and coffee lovers to cultivate community and share in the joy of exceptional coffee. Inspired by the courage and resiliency of coffee farmers worldwide, One Village Coffee embodies the spirit of unity and quality. Backyard Beans acquired One Village Coffee in 2023, further solidifying its commitment to excellence and community.
