Thank you to Darin and Rochelle Fair who were the guest speakers at our evening Rotary dinner at Santorini's yesterday. The couple told their "lone tree coffee" story which began back in 1996 when Darin and Rochelle Fair and their then young family, started in the coffee business in Summerland, with the opening of The Beanery Coffee Company.
With the decision to sell the café in 2008, the Fairs chose to continue to follow their passion of roasting and marketing Specialty Coff...ee and found a new location for their coffee roaster.
In 2013, lone tree coffee was founded to allow the Roastery, and still thriving Beanery Café become unique identities in the community.
Today, Darin continues to oversee the roasting process and Rochelle manages the daily operations of the Roastery.
