Our story
Coffee for a Cause ™
We started Three Goats Coffee to create a meaningful job for our son, Nolan, who has autism. More than 80% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities remain unemployed nationwide — and we wanted to be part of the solution. Every bag we roast helps build dignity through work, supports coffee farmers through equitable sourcing, and brings genuinely great coffee to our community here in Temecula.
Our Story
We started Three Goats Coffee Company because we wanted to create a meaningful job opportunity for our son, Nolan, who has autism. We hope that Three Goats Coffee Company is going to be part of the solution to a really big problem — that more than 80% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities remain unemployed nationwide.
Our Mission
Our mission is threefold:
- 1To bring attention to the challenges that adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities face in finding meaningful work and ways to engage and participate in their communities.
- 2Sourcing coffee that impacts the livelihoods of coffee farmers across the globe through our commitment to paying equitable prices to producers and investing in communities where coffee is grown.
- 3To build a brand that will offer employment opportunities to other adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Our Coffee
We roast all of our coffee in small batches on the all-electric Valenta 3 Deluxe by Coffee Crafters. The Valenta 3 is a fluid-bed roaster certified for commercial use. It produces artisan-quality coffee and, by roasting in small batches, we can guarantee peak freshness and flavor while cutting the carbon footprint of roasting by 87%.
