About Jaun Villatoro of Brazil
Greeting visitors with a proud smile, he is curious and funny. Juan Villatoro didn't start out growing coffee like his brothers and father before him. In the 1970's and early 80s, he was raising cattle and growing corn. His father had given him a small lot for coffee production, so he began planting coffee. As the cattle business died away, he worked in the coffee nursery and then fully committed to coffee, buying up other small lots for production. At 63, Juan enjoys playing the piano and dedicating time to his grandson Raúl.
Juan's wife Lesvia Martinez and his son, Milton Villatoro Martínez, both help manage the farm. They've faced many challenges over the years, from the 1987 natural disaster destroying his bodega and wet mill, to the constant challenge to control rust. He is proud of his coffees, as well he has reason to be: Milagro is a favorite every year with brilliant lime-like acidity, great structure and nice stone fruit qualities.

Tinker Coffee Co.
When brothers-in-law Steve Hall and Jeff Johnson founded Tinker Coffee Co., they had a simple plan: bring the specialty coffee scene to their own Indianapolis, Indiana backyard. Combining backgrounds in wine and tech (Jeff worked with IBM for 10 years) with a dedication to sourcing fantastic coffees and sharing the excitement with customers, Tinker Coffee was named "Best Coffee in Indiana" by Food & Wine, so their hard work is paying off!
Tinker Coffee was founded in 2014 and roasts coffee for a sweet group of restaurants, cafes, offices, and markets. Jeff admits to preferring Colombian coffees, and Steve, Kenyas.
