About Sweetwater Organic Coffee Roasters
Who We Are and What We Do
Sweetwater is committed to long-term relationships with our trading partners, working with them to improve their quality of life, and paying them a fair price for the beautiful coffee they work so hard to farm for us year after year. We figure that by delivering fresh small-batch roasted coffee, our solidarity with small-scale coffee farmers will become an integral part of your personal coffee ritual.
Our Purpose and Core Values
Our purpose is simple: to partner with small-scale, farmer-owned cooperatives and connect communities through exceptional coffee. By roasting only 100% fair trade, shade-grown organic, specialty-grade Arabica beans, we ensure every cup reflects our commitment to quality, transparency, and impact.
Our Farmer Partners
We are dedicated to fostering an equitable and sustainable global trade network with small-holder farmer cooperatives across Africa, Asia, Central and South America. Through our partnership, our coffee farmer-partners are able to better access vital resources for community development, cultural preservation, and environmental sustainability.
Our Co-op
Years ago we joined with a few other like-minded coffee roasters to create a unique, principle-driven supply chain that directly connects our roastery in Gainesville to farmers throughout the world.
We employ common-sense, win-win terms of trade for sourcing organic green coffee fairly, directly, and transparently from these farming communities.
Our Staff
A passionate crew of coffee lovers, community builders, and everyday adventurers. From seasoned roasters to curious students and world travelers, each of us shares a commitment to the farmers who grow our coffee and the customers who make it all possible. We’re proud to stand behind every cup, connecting people near and far through coffee that truly makes a difference.
Our Story
Sweetwater Organic Coffee has always been about more than great coffee, it’s about building community, honoring farmers, and connecting people across borders through a shared love of quality and sustainability.
