This week, in collaboration with the Eastern Market, Donna and Orlando hosted a live podcast edition of Happy Hour in the Market. This special event brings together food business owners, farmers, and producers for fresh bites, and dj vibes. For the month of October they chose to highlight Faust Haus Roasting Company and In The Mix Detroit.

Founded in 2021, Faust Haus Roasting Company started as a family venture aiming to educate the public on coffee’s African roots, specifically from Ethiopia. Based in Detroit’s historic Eastern Market Faust Haus Roasting Co., is a coffee roasting company that specializes in high-quality coffees from across the African diaspora. They offer wholesale options for partners, allowing for both coffee service in cafes and individual retail sale of their 12oz bags. This black-owned company, founded by Derek English, is known for its artisanal approach and commitment to robust flavors and responsible growth. Alongside their product offerings, Faust Haus is dedicated to making a positive impact on communities and providing relief to those in need.

Imani Foster is Chief Operating Officer of In The Mix Detroit, a collective of Black farmers and gardeners making a huge sustainability impact in Detroit. Essentially, In the Mix helps farmers bring their fresh food to market; providing resources like gardening supplies, educational workshops and an inviting community that welcomes newcomers.
