About Co-operative of small farms of Burundi
In Burundi, many villages and their coffee farms are centered around the extremely high elevation rolling hills. Gaharo is a hill community of farmers that processes their coffee at the Bukeye washing station. Before Bukeye opened, there wasn’t a washing station that could effectively process their coffees. Even though it can be a long walk to deliver their coffee cherries, Long Miles still pays much higher pricing for farmer’s coffee cherry, which is especially
important given the extremely low yield this year in Burundi due to poor weather and coffee tree disease.

Ruby Coffee Roasters
After years of leading the roasting and coffee sourcing programs of other notable roasters, Jared and Deanna Linzmeier moved back to Jared's hometown of Nelsonville, Wisconsin to build their own roastery. Because doing something great doesn't always mean doing something large, Ruby has opted to partner with small farms, small exporters and create small coffee bars, allowing them to have a much greater impact on the economic, environmental, social sustainability of specialty coffee.
This perspective has propelled a roasting operation, which began in a spare workshop room at Jared's childhood home, to being named Best Coffee in Wisconsin by Food and Wine two years in a row. Accolade aside, Ruby's real goal is a simple one: to source phenomenal quality coffee and make it approachable to everyone.
