Roasted in the heartland. Enjoyed everywhere.
A parable is a simple story with a meaning that runs deeper than it looks. We named our company that on purpose.
On the surface, this is just coffee. A family roasting small batches the same way we did when we sold it off the back of our truck.
Underneath, it's our faith: paying farmers what's fair, because it's right, not because it sells. Honest work, done small, done well.
That's the whole story. Parable Coffee: roasted right here in the heartland, shipped and enjoyed everywhere.
We got our start in 2013 by connecting with people at the local Farmer’s Market and offering our fresh roasted coffees from the back of our truck. Some weeks we were even roasting on-site!
After the market season people started contacting us and to find out where our coffee could be purchased. The rest is history. Today we offer our coffees online, and through many local and regional stores, shops, and restaurants.
We are proud to be sourcing coffees from small producers throughout the world, and strive to pay fair and ethical prices for all the coffees we offer.
We are a family owned and operated company and our entire ethic is based on our Christian faith. We always strive to operate with the highest principles of honesty and integrity. Please feel free to reach out to us anytime, we love to connect and hear your story.
