Holy Grounds Coffee & Tea has been serving our community as a drive-through coffee shop for a while now. What started as a place for good drinks and a genuine love for our community has grown into something we’re ready to take to the next step.

We’re expanding Holy Grounds to roast our own coffee.

This isn’t a sudden pivot or a side experiment. It’s something we’ve been intentionally preparing for.

What We’ve Already Done

We’ve already taken the biggest and most difficult step:

we invested in a professional-grade coffee roaster, by far the largest piece of this expansion.

Since then, we’ve spent countless hours:

Training on the roaster

Testing batches and dialing in profiles

Learning consistency, development, and quality control

Building repeatable processes so we can roast coffee we’re proud to serve

We’re not asking for help to figure it out.

We’re ready to move forward.

Why We’re Raising $5,000

While the roaster is in place and we’re trained and prepared, expanding into a roastery requires working capital to operate at scale.

This $5,000 will help cover:

Green coffee inventory

Bags, labels, and packaging

Shipping materials and fulfillment costs

Initial operating expenses so we can roast consistently and sustainably

This fundraiser bridges the gap between being ready and being able to launch well.

How We’re Thanking Our Supporters

We want this to be personal and tangible.

For every $20 donated, we’ll send you a bag of freshly roasted Holy Grounds coffee as we reach fundraising milestones.

As we hit:

$1,000 — first roasting milestone ships

$2,000 — second milestone ships

$3,000 — third milestone ships

$4,000–$5,000 — full production momentum

This milestone approach allows us to grow responsibly while ensuring every bag reflects the quality and care Holy Grounds is known for.

Why This Matters

Roasting our own coffee allows us to:

Maintain greater quality control

Source coffee more intentionally

Build long-term sustainability for Holy Grounds

Serve our community better, one cup at a time

Holy Grounds has always been about serving people well, through quality, consistency, and integrity. This expansion allows us to deepen that mission and build something that will last.

Whether you donate, share, or encourage us, thank you.

You’re helping turn careful preparation into a lasting next step.

With gratitude,

Holy Grounds Coffee & Tea
