About us
YellowBand is changing hands, but keeping the same heart!
At the heart of our coffee is a simple belief: great flavor should never come at the expense of the planet—or its pollinators. Founded with a deep respect for nature, our family-owned small batch specialty coffee roaster company has always been guided by bee-friendly practices, sustainable sourcing, and a passion for community.
As we turn a new page and welcome fresh stewardship, our commitment remains as strong as ever. The faces may be changing, but the mission endures: to craft exceptional coffee while protecting the tiny workers that help make our world bloom. From farm to cup, we remain grounded in transparency, environmental care, and the joy of a truly good brew.
Thank y'all for being part of this journey with us.
Our Outreach
We source our green coffee exclusively from bee friendly farms. All the farms have either bee hives for honey bees or bee houses for solitary bees, based on their native bee population. We work to inspire farms to add bee habitats to their farms, helping to educate them on the importance of bee conservation, as well as the benefits the farms can see from pollination increasing crop production.
We work to create as little waste as possible through the reuse of materials. Our coffee grounds are used for compost and natural bug repellent in landscaping. The chaff (a thin shell around the bean like on a peanut) that comes off during the roasting process is collected and donated to FreeBird Farm for comfortable and odor reducing chicken beds. FreeBird farm is a local small farm that provides children's art and agriculture education classes.
