Not just another coffee company…

Brewing Good Coffee Company will be the first craft roaster in the world created specifically to raise money for a variety of organizations fighting against the myriad of issues facing animals through the sale of ethically sourced, roasted-to-order coffees.

Every month we will feature a non-profit making advances for animals and 10% of the proceeds from that month’s sales will support their life-saving work. Stay tuned to our Indiegogo campaign and to our Facebook page for announcements of the organizations we will feature in our first six months of operation!

Brewing Good Coffee Company stands for:

Compassion – Brewing Good Coffee Company is vegan owned and operated and we believe in promoting a culture of compassion. Our goal is to enable people to do good for others, animals, and the environment by simply enjoying excellent coffee. Every bag of coffee you, our customers, enjoy will support the animals for whom our partner organizations are working to protect as well as the farmers who get fair prices for their environmentally-friendly coffees that Brewing Good Coffee Company will buy. We will work hard to find the most ethically grown coffees in the world, sourcing organic, bird-friendly, and shade-grown beans and to go above and beyond fair trade standards. Additionally, in an effort to reduce waste production, our coffee bags will be compostable and feature a water-dissolvable label.

Quality – Brewing Good Coffee Company will source high-quality beans and methodically determine what roast profile best suits each variety through our craft-roasting process. Our coffee program will satisfy coffee lovers who happen to love animals and animal lovers who happen to love (or perhaps just need) coffee.

Convenience – Brewing Good Coffee Company will work hard to bring you the best coffees because we know you work hard and deserve to treat yourself! Following a successful Indiegogo campaign, our coffee will be available on our website. All you will need to do is let us know if you’d like a light, medium, or dark roast blend, single-origin beans, decaf, or if you’re more the espresso type. Then, before you know it, roasted-to-order coffee will arrive fresh at your door and you can take a seat, take a sip, and know you are helping save lives. You will even be able to sign up for a subscription so you never run out of coffee again!


Who are we?

Brewing Good Coffee Company Co-founders Justin Leonard and Karla Goodson are just a couple of dedicated dog parents (shout out to August, Jessie, and Mr. Jim), vegans, and coffee enthusiasts with a desire to do more to help animals.

Justin, a photographer by training, university professor, and talented vegan chef, has been buying green coffee and roasting at home for more than a decade. He has developed a wealth of knowledge about growing regions, farming practices, and roasting methods and is Brewing Good’s full-time “Roastmaster”.

Karla has been working full-time in animal rescue since graduating from college and is currently the Outreach Director for Animal Rescue Corps, a national non-profit whose focus is assisting law enforcement agencies with cruelty situations and disasters that are beyond their means to address. She has managed investigations that have led to the rescue of thousands of animals and has placed those animals with shelters and foster-based organizations across North America. Having been a dedicated animal activist since childhood and developing strong connections in the world of rescue and advocacy in the course of her work, she is Brewing Good’s “Rescuemaster”.

Our passion, our calling, is making the world a better place by protecting people, animals, and the environment and have a heck of a lot of fun while doing it. Brewing Good Coffee Company is the manifestation of this mission. We are so excited to share in this adventure with our family, friends, and all of you.


What is needed?

We are fundraising to ensure Brewing Good Coffee Company’s sustainability while we get on our feet and grow in our first six months of operation. It will cost more than $10,000 to run the business for six months. Sales will alleviate those costs but we want to be able to donate as much as we can to our non-profit partners and not worry about making commercial kitchen rent while we work to grow a customer base and a reputation for great coffee infused with compassion.

We have already invested the necessary funds to buy a commercial coffee roaster and supplies, commission our logo and label design from Lucie Rice Illustration and Design, build our website, and obtain the required business articles, licenses, and certifications. Now we need your help to keep going!

100% of your Indiegogo campaign contribution will go toward operational expenses such as:

·  commercial kitchen rent

·  coffee beans

·  supplies

·  additional equipment (such as a commercial grinder so we can offer ground coffee in addition to whole bean)

YOU can help us launch and sustain Brewing Good Coffee Company and enjoy a thank you from us at every contribution level!
