March 07, 2025 Interview: 9 Months After Starting Our Roastery...
Episode 41: Today we've got a special treat as Stephen was joined by the wonderful folks behind Silver Run Coffee Crafters -- Bradley and Rebecca Ladnier! They started their roastery 9 months ago and are already shipping coffee all over the country! In this interview, we discuss how they started a successful specialty coffee roasting operation in a small town, how they found stores to carry their beans, and how they win over "cream & sugar" coffee drinkers to their fresh, smooth, Specialty Coffee creations!
A note on the audio/video quality: We set this up last minute and hoped the A/V setup would work better than it did. We think it's better to get this conversation to you imperfectly than not at all, so please be patient with us as we figure out the tech.
