Thank you! I'm not self-roasting (not by choice), but working with a roaster to help with roasting and logistics. I got the idea from actually wanting to self-roast when I heard of a friend using a shared roasting space in San Diego to source green beans and do his own roasting without the upfront cost of buying equipment. Unfortunately nothing like that exists in my area of Tennessee but having a private relationship with a family owned roaster is the next best thing.

I went through a few iterations of trying roasters and let me tell you, some were downright bad. I'm happy to have found a partner that I actually enjoy the product of, even if it means slimmer margins.
