    Introducing: The Long Miles Coffee Podcast

    In this inaugural four-part series, Ben Carlson (co-founder of Long Miles Coffee) and Abby Fabre (manager of 7 Corners Coffee) talk to coffee producers from Central and South America. We hear from them how the global pandemic is affecting coffee production, the complexities of shifting to organic farming practices and what the specialty coffee industry should be doing to be more sustainable.

    “This is the hardest year to sell coffee. Everybody is struggling. The reason we started this podcast was to talk to friends in other parts of the world who are also coffee producers and highlight their voices.” – Ben Carlson, Long Miles Coffee
