Our business philosophy rests in the belief that everyone deserves to enjoy delicious coffee. Our growth depends on the strong relationships with our Homestead Coffee community, relationships that we value to no end. That is the number one reason why we never compromise on our ideals or standards of quality.
By investing in our partners and using environmentally friendly packaging, we create better relationships with the earth and each other.
Michael Lewis

Michael spent the first years of the company’s life building and strengthening his knowledge of coffee. From origin to roast to brew method, he listened to the community and his own palate to craft what makes our coffees stand out. He now sources our green coffee and is in charge of wholesale business relations. He strives to bring together the best the coffee world has to offer.
Ryan DeHaven
Asst. Roastmaster/Production Mgr.
Ryan appreciates anything containing depth and detail. Intricate and complex, coffee is a perfect medium for him to have fallen into. Besides his love of roasting coffee, he is a dedicated artist and painter, as well as a musician, writer and husband. Ryan is a music-obsessive who spent his early twenties traveling in a punk rock band and collecting vinyl records. He also loves nature, funny things and great food. Nowadays he spends most of his free time painting, writing and hanging with his amazing wife Ashley and their sweet dog Lucy.
