Will Wells – The Artery Community Roasters – Ottawa, Canada

The Artery Community Roasters are located in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. Today their founder Will Wells joins me to tell their amazing tale and hopefully inspire you along the way. Who are they?

– The Artery Community Roasters, help people living with disabilities find worthwhile employment, and freshly roasted speciality coffee.

– All the employees who are roasting and packaging their coffee, are people living with disabilities.

– They produce some of the best specialty coffee around. Freshly roasted on innovative fluid bed roasters, and sell direct trade coffee that is sourced through their friends at Semilla Coffee, who are coffee advocates and small-scale importers who care. This allows them to operate with only 1 to 2 degrees of separation between us and the farmers who grow our delicious coffee.

We talk about it all including how it all came together, their amazing employees and how to help their cause?
