I am the son of a farmer and was born and raised on the West Coast of Canada. I've been in the coffee farming and green business for over 28 years.
I was in Costa Rica developing large scale agricultural projects, and one of the jewels of my work was a 65 hectare (160 acre) coffee farm in the now famous West Valley town of Llano Bonito. Today the farm is producing award-winning coffee that showcases in the Cup of Excellence.
I've cupped and roasted coffee internationally, connecting with farmers, co-ops, exporters and importing companies. I love the world of coffee and working with new roasters getting started in the business, and experienced ones allowing our partnerships to grow.
Kimber is the other half of Root 86, in charge of logistics, inventory control and administration. Kimber has one of the best noses in the business and is crucial in the grading and coffee selection process. She is the best at planning out future coffee purchases and managing the importation of this great commodity that we all love.
