Bradenton coffee company prioritizes staying approachable

When Josh and Abbey Schmitt began roasting coffee beans in 2013 in their garage in Oregon, they had no idea their hobby would turn into a business. 

Back then, Josh was roasting coffee beans using a popcorn popper for friends and family. A year or two later, the couple moved to Bradenton, Abbey’s hometown. Diving into their hobby, they began to sell bags of roasted coffee beans at the Bradenton Farmers’ Market. At first, it was only a few bags. Then it started to grow.
