Bald Guy Brew Coffee Roasting Co

Bald Guy Brew Coffee Roasting Co works out of Boone, in the High Country of western North Carolina. What sets the operation apart in our directory is the certification stack: USDA Organic, Fair Trade, and Bird Friendly — three independent labels that together verify environmental practices, grower compensation, and habitat preservation. Few US roasters carry all three.

Sourcing reflects the same discipline: Ethiopian, Colombian, and Guatemalan single-origins — the classics that reward careful roasting. If you care about what's behind the cup and not just what's in it, Bald Guy is worth a closer look this month.
