For more than a century, Farmer Brothers has built our business by providing extraordinary products at incomparable value to coffee-minded food service operators all across the country.

Farmer Brothers began in 1912, when Roy E. Farmer thought it crucial restaurants serve a quality cup of coffee, but couldn’t find one that did. Making and distributing coffee to restaurants and their patrons became his mission. Roy opened Farmer Brothers Coffee Company, headquartered in the back of his brother’s bicycle shop, and did just that.

Farmer Brothers has continued to evolve and flourish every since, growing branch by branch and customer by customer. Through a series of product line expansions and acquisitions, and a relentless commitment to continuously invest in customers, service and technology, Farmer Brothers has become a leading national roaster, manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor of high-quality branded and private label coffees, teas, spices and culinary products to foodservice, convenience stores and grocery retailers.

How did we do it? Farmer Brothers principles, unchanged from their original form by Roy E. Farmer, have withstood the test of time and continued to guide us in contributing to our success and yours – one customer at a time.
