Who we are

I have lived in Rainier, OR, since August 2020. My kids go to school with your kids. I frequent the same local restaurants and stores and am involved in the PTO. I am a part of the Rainier community.

I’ve been in the coffee industry since 2003, roasting since 2009, and teaching people all over the world how to roast coffee since 2013. My books on coffee roasting and my consultancy are known worldwide (one of my books has been translated into 4 languages - Spanish, Chinese, Farsi, and Korean).

It felt silly to have a roasting lab space up on the hill, and not be sharing the wonderful coffees I had access to locally. So, I started selling coffee locally… and slightly after, Fern Hill Coffee was born.

Currently you can find my coffee in the Columbia Bakehouse, Elementary and Jr/Sr. High School Staff Breakrooms, the Softball Field Concessions Stand, and the Jr/Sr High Cafeteria. I’d love to share it even further.

Here online, you can select to buy amazing coffees from around the world, expertly roasted, produced locally here in Rainier, Or.
