4th Level Roasters (Coffee)
Biography
4th Level Roasters was born from adversity. When times got tough, we got tougher. When cancer hit our family the first time, we came together. When cancer hit the 2nd time and in a different family member only one year later, 4th Level Roasters came together.
I had a dream of roasting coffee for years, but I put off that dream while working jobs where I never really felt a strong sense of purpose. When I was diagnosed with cancer just one year after Stacie, we decided there is no better time than the present to start doing the things we have dreamed of. I bought my first roaster in the middle of chemo and started roasting outside in the winter snow.
We discovered the coffee I was roasting was superior to what we were buying in the store and just like that: hobby turned into passion. I spent hours researching and learning about coffee purchasing, processing, and roasting. As knowledge increased, better coffee was created. We decided to make a leap of faith and purchased a bigger roaster.
Our first interaction with the community was the Farmer’s Market in Berea, KY in July of 2021. We were nervous, but we believed in our product and within three weeks, we were selling out of our entire stock of coffee. At this time I had a full time job, but in April of 2022 things changed once again. I abruptly lost my full time employment so we got even more determined to be successful with coffee. At a time when many would have gotten distressed, we found tremendous peace and went to work!
Everyday working towards your passion is a gift beyond measure. We feel tremendously blessed to provide a cup of blessings and passion with you while you contemplate your own dreams, big or small. Always remember, 4th Level Roasters is with you every step of the way.
