Through our work at Oxcart, our aim is to continue to work with the same micromills year after year to focus on building quality with our longstanding partners. The Oxcart Coffee office is not simply a place to do the business of selling coffee, but also a resource for local producers. By hosting open cuppings at our onsite roasting lab, offering opportunities for consultation and education, and creating a space for candid conversations about coffee, quality, and production, we hope to continue to establish Oxcart as a place where our producer partners can grow and prosper with us.<\/span><\/p>\n
