From Farm to Cup with CEO & Founder of Sustainable Harvest David Griswold (S8E05)

CEO & Founder of Sustainable Harvest Coffee Importers David Griswold discusses his experience working in the coffee business for 25+ years and how Sustainable Harvest has helped change how farmers and buyers interact. Ever since David was approached by a coffee bean farmer in Mexico, he was on a mission to learn the coffee importing business from the inside out. Although David faced many challenges in the beginning of his journey, he was able to construct a business model that was unique and that catered to farmers that were utilizing his coffee beans. Aaron and David talk how Sustainable Harvest pioneered the relationship-coffee model, how the company fosters sustainability and why it’s so important to pay attention to coffee labels.
