Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-op

Hortonville, NS, Canada

Follow

Just Us! is a worker-owned co-operative that became Canada’s first fair-trade organic coffee roaster in 1995, after founder Jeff Moore learned to roast on a stovetop in Ethiopia. It still buys from grower co-ops such as Union de la Selva in Chiapas and roasts at its Grand-Pré flagship on Highway 1, where the café sits beside a small coffee museum with windows onto the roasters; a second café fills the foyer of Wolfville’s old Al Whittle Theatre. Blends such as Rise Again, Tierra Madre, Rebel and Jungle make up the range.
