Our Story at Farmer Brothers:

Your road to success is paved with coffee.

Farmer Brothers history began in 1912 when a young man named Roy E. Farmer decided to open up his own coffee business to make it easy for restaurants to pour a great cup of coffee. He had big dreams but not much money. So he started the company where any sensible entrepreneur would: the back of his brother’s bicycle shop. Now 110 years later, Farmer Brothers is a coffee and food service wholesale supplier that serves over 60,000 restaurants, convenience stores, hospitality/hotels, healthcare, gaming, and retail channels across the U.S.!

At Farmer Brothers we’re committed to creating connections through the love of coffee – for our customers, our growers at origin, and our team members located throughout the United States.

We believe our team members are some of the most innovative, collaborative, and passionate people in the industry. And we’re proud of the work they do together. With a combination of great benefits, social activities, and learning opportunities, we invest every day in our most important asset: our team members.
