Introduction
Farming is at the heart of Canada’s history and economy. From prairie wheat fields to dairy barns and cattle ranches, Canadian farmers embody resilience, grit, and commitment to feeding communities. These values extend far beyond local harvests—they are also the foundation of how Canadians connect to coffee. Road Coffee has long drawn inspiration from Canadian farmers while working directly with coffee growers around the world, building supply chains that honor the same spirit of perseverance.
The Shared Story of Canadian and Coffee Farmers
While Canadian farmers cultivate wheat, canola, or livestock, coffee farmers face a similar battle against unpredictable weather, global price swings, and rising costs of production. Both groups rely on consistent support from the communities they serve.
The difference? Many coffee farmers are trapped in broken systems where they’re paid below the cost of production, forcing them to fight for survival. Road Coffee’s BeyondFair™ model seeks to change that reality—just as Canadians rally around local farmers, Road Coffee customers rally around coffee farmers worldwide.
Why Canadian Farmers Matter in the Coffee Conversation
When Canadians sip a cup of coffee, they rarely think about the parallels to the farmers here at home. Yet the values are aligned:
-
Hard Work & Grit → Long hours, demanding conditions, little margin for error.
-
Generational Knowledge → Family farms in Canada, like family coffee farms in Costa Rica or Peru, pass down knowledge and tradition.
-
Resilience Against Uncertainty → Weather, markets, and global forces affect both Canadian and coffee farmers daily.
By highlighting Canadian farmers alongside global coffee growers, Road Coffee underscores a truth: farming is humanity’s backbone.
