Barista

~ Our story is rooted in a love of organic farming. In 1991, founders Chris and Terry Martin bought 100 acres on Taylor Lane in Occidental, CA to raise their family and explore entrepreneurial farming opportunities. Realizing their daughters resembled maidens as they harvested herbs from the field, Chris and Terri named the property Taylor Maid Farm. In 1993 a friend encouraged Chris to start roasting organic coffee in an old barn on the farm. With that, Taylor Maid Farms Organic Coffee was born. ~

At first, the small number of organic coffee farms around the world limited the product line to only 4 coffees. Over the years, we partnered with more and more farmers as they worked toward certification, and our offerings have expanded ever since.

Today, Taylor Maid Farms is a dynamic company that remains young at heart. Our small team of coffee enthusiasts is obsessed not only with crafting the perfect coffee, but with building community and integrating sustainability into everything we do.

Sustainability:

Seed to Cup Sustainability means embracing stewardship at every step in the coffee process. That means taking care of people and planet whenever we can, however we can. From the farmers we choose to partner with to our efforts to care for our employees and local community, each step in the coffee supply chain provides opportunities to choose sustainable practices. Here’s a behind-the-scenes peak at how we integrate stewardship into everyday operations.
