How Goldberry Roasting Company Supports Growing Communities Through Coffee
Posted on August 14 2025,

At Goldberry Roasting Company, we believe coffee should do more than just taste great—it should make a difference. From the hillsides where our beans are grown to the small towns where they’re brewed, our mission is to support and uplift communities at every stage of the journey. Through ethical sourcing, local partnerships, and a commitment to generosity, we’re using coffee as a tool to foster growth, connection, and long-term impact.
From Farm to Cup: Ethical Sourcing That Makes a Difference
Community-building begins with how we source our coffee. Whether its working closely with farmers to directly source coffee, or working with sourcing partners who purchase the coffee from farms, our standards for sourcing and roasting don't change.
Our approach helps smallholder farmers build sustainable businesses, care for their land, and invest in the future of their families and communities. We intentionally partner with growers who share our values—those who prioritize environmental stewardship, equitable labor practices, and transparency. By supporting these farmers, we’re helping create stronger agricultural communities that can thrive for generations to come.
Rooted Locally: Supporting Our Own Backyard
While our coffee travels thousands of miles to reach your cup, our heart is firmly rooted in Ashland, Ohio. As a local business, we’re passionate about pouring into the people and places around us. We supply freshly roasted coffee to hometown cafés, churches, nonprofits, and small businesses—helping them offer something exceptional to their communities.
Our team lives and works in the same neighborhoods we serve, and we take pride in creating jobs and opportunities that support local families. When you choose Goldberry Roasting Company, you're not just buying a bag of beans—you’re investing in a company that’s deeply committed to the region we call home.
Partnering for Growth: Wholesale with Purpose
One of the most powerful ways we support growing communities is through our wholesale partnerships. Whether it's a church offering a warm welcome with every cup, a café striving to stand out, or an office keeping its team fueled and focused, we’re proud to come alongside partners who care about quality and impact.
But we’re more than just a coffee supplier. We offer training, equipment guidance, and ongoing support to help our partners succeed. When they thrive, their communities benefit—and that’s what we’re all about. Our goal is to make your coffee program not just excellent, but meaningful.
Giving Back: Brewing Kindness with Every Cup
At Goldberry Roasting Company, giving back is part of our DNA. We regularly donate coffee to local events, fundraisers, ministries, and community programs. Whether we’re supporting a youth outreach, helping a mission trip team hit their fundraising goal, or simply saying thank you to volunteers, we’re always looking for ways to serve.
We also support organizations doing important work in both our community and around the world—groups focused on spiritual growth, humanitarian aid, and education. These partnerships reflect our belief that generosity should flow through everything we do.
A Long-Term Vision for Impact
We don’t see community support as a marketing initiative—it’s a foundational part of who we are. Every decision we make, from sourcing to packaging to delivery, is shaped by our desire to build something that lasts. We’re not just here to sell coffee—we’re here to cultivate hope, opportunity, and connection through every bag we roast.
As we grow, so does our capacity to give more, serve more, and inspire more. We’re excited about the future—not just for our company, but for the people and places we get to impact along the way.
Join Us in the Mission
In a world filled with faceless brands and automated transactions, we believe there’s something powerful about doing business with heart. At Goldberry Roasting Company, we want every sip of coffee to tell a story—a story of farmers empowered, communities supported, and purpose pursued.
Whether you’re a church, a café, an office, or just someone who appreciates a good cup of coffee, we invite you to be part of that story. Because together, we’re not just enjoying coffee—we’re growing something meaningful.
