Our Story at Farmer Brothers:
Your road to success is paved with coffee.
Farmer Brothers history began in 1912 when a young man named Roy E. Farmer decided to open up his own coffee business to make it easy for restaurants to pour a great cup of coffee. He had big dreams but not much money. So he started the company where any sensible entrepreneur would: the back of his brother’s bicycle shop. Now 110 years later, Farmer Brothers is a coffee and food service wholesale supplier that serves over 60,000 restaurants, convenience stores, hospitality/hotels, healthcare, gaming, and retail channels across the U.S.!
At Farmer Brothers we’re committed to creating connections through the love of coffee – for our customers, our growers at origin, and our team members located throughout the United States.
