About us
Bloom City started as two different companies: a cafe and a coffee roasting business. We came together when we figured out that what we shared was so much greater than anything we could accomplish on our own. We merged the best of both worlds, and our goal as Bloom City Coffee is to reach people around the world with the greatness of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We have a big dream. Someday we want to purchase coffee farms, and on those farms, build chapels and schools. The farmers themselves would work the crop and manage everything on site. Their kids would have a place to go to school, and they’d be able to make a living and provide for their families.
Here’s why that dream matters. Around the world, so many coffee farms sit abandoned—vacant, completely overgrown—because farmers couldn’t afford both to grow the crop and to pay the people who harvest it. If anything goes wrong in a year—too much rain or not enough, pests, disease, any kind of stress on the plants—a farmer can go from planting a full crop to harvesting maybe thirty percent of it. Even if they bring in sixty or seventy percent, any loss is a big loss. And of what they do harvest, only some of it makes it through processing and scores high enough for someone to come and buy it. If the price they get isn’t enough to recoup what they already put into the land and the crop, they end up in the red, drowning in bills, unable even to buy plants for the next season. That’s where a lot of farmers find themselves.
We want to play a part in helping to alleviate that. We don’t know how far off the dream is, or how fast it might come, but we know God has a plan. He set us on a mission, He started us on this journey, and we’re going to follow it all the way through, as far as we can. We’d love for you to share that dream with us.
We’re a smaller business. Everyone we employ is here in the Texas Coastal Bend, and we want to pay a competitive wage. We can’t buy at the same scale as the big coffee companies, so some of our prices end up a little higher because our costs are higher. Dream with us. Help us meet these goals—not just fighting the winds of change and rising costs, but flowing with them, toward the destination God has set for us.
We’ve got big dreams because we’ve got a big God.
