Bass fishing and coffee? We never saw it coming either until the summer of 2019. 

​

Steve's wife and youngest son were fortunate enough to travel to Guatemala with a student group from North Central College's Enactus program. The college had been going on this trip twice a year for 15 years at this point. The impact on Amy and Cody was life changing. When they returned a plan was set in place to sell more beans so more families in the San Lucas community could sell at direct-trade pricing creating a more sustainable model. A model where the small plot famers (entrepreneurs!) can reinvest in their business and afford things like proper medical care and an education for their children. 

​

This is when their experience and Steve's love of bass fishing came together, and Bass Fishing Life Coffee Co. was born. Outdoor enthusiasts are often passionate about quality coffee. I think you'll agree, this is some good stuff! 

​

​The coffee: 100% single origin Arabica coffee sourced from the Atitlan region of Guatemala. Shade grown in rich volcanic soil, our coffee is produced and harvested at an ideal altitude of 5,200-6,000 ft. above sea level. Roasted at a light, medium, or dark level, this coffee has tasting notes of cocoa, citrus, peach, berries, slight floral, and caramel. The coffee is roasted and packaged in North Central College's Coffee Lab.
