Everyone should believe in something. We believe in GREAT coffee.

Wood Buffalo Coffee Company was started in 2019.

This company was started not solely to provide diversity in our community but also to give back. It is essential to support people in our own neighbourhood and abroad. There is satisfaction in knowing where our coffee comes from and making a difference in the world.

We have chosen to buy our beans from a coffee co-op thatbelieves in paying living wages to farmers, not “market price” which can be far below the cost of living. Instead we pay for a living wage and provide financial assistance to villagers for innovation and sustainability.

She’s received a “Diedrich Roaster Certificate” for her training at Diedrich headquarters in Idaho. In her past life she spent over ten years in the food and beverage industry.
