About: Breyting Community Roaster is a socially responsible, mission-driven business that seeks to align their coffee brands with worthy causes and support non-profits through an innovative fundraising program. Their long-held business strategy is to build brands that have modest, yet consistent, earning power with good returns on equity and support these brands with worthy causes, talent and honest management.
As part of their commitment to quality, Breyting Community Roaster is a vertically integrated company, from farm to factory to fullfillment. With the localist movement sweeping the nation, communities are beginning to embrace the need to revitalize “Made in the USA” manufacturing to strengthen local economies. Breyting Community Roaster made a commitment to this by moving the roasting & manufacturing from overseas operations in Vietnam to the United States andare working in collaboration with other US manufacturers to create a line of eco-friendly coffee related merchandise such as chocolate covered espresso beans, healthy snacks, cups, shirts and more that proudly bears the “American Made” mark. They also actively advocate for policymakers to develop incentive programs for businesses that support USA made products.
Despite huge incentives from other towns, Breyting Community Roaster chose DeLand, Florida. “We just like the people and welcoming energy of DeLand,” explained Ric Coven, Chief Brand Officer. “DeLand is a barely contained secret – a Florida treasure about to burst into mainstream attention. It has a well established local food scene, like-minded town folk and Stetson college students who get what we are about.”
The City of DeLand, dubbed “The Athens of Florida,” is home to Florida's first Mainstreet program and is located just 45 minutes north of Downtown Orlando and 20 minutes from Daytona in an idyllic central location surrounded by springs and just a short drive to the beach.
