Why I Started FFCC

I've always believed in hard work, strong roots, and doing right by the people who raised you. Growing up in a farming community, I've seen firsthand the challenges that come with that life, and the pride that comes with it, too. Coffee was always part of the day, just something that kept you going, cup after cup, job after job.

I started Farmers Fuel because I wanted to build something that would give back to the people who built me—the farming community.

Every bag we roast is for those who work hard, get up early, and do it all again the next day. A portion of every sale goes to Farm Rescue, a nonprofit that steps in to help family farms when a crisis hits, whether it's illness, disaster, or just tough times.

One verse that's been on my heart through this journey is Galatians 6:9:

"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

It's a reminder that our work in the fields, in our communities, and for each other matters. Even when it's hard, even when the results don't come right away, there's a harvest waiting for those who keep on working.

This isn't just coffee. It's a way to support the farmers who keep our land, food, and values alive.

Thanks for being here.
