Foundation Coffee Roasters

Foundation Coffee Roasters is based at The Old Mushroom Farm near St Ives in Cornwall, a location that fits the business's described identity as ocean advocates rooted in where they live. The roastery supplies wholesale and retail customers and maintains traceability to individual contributors within its supply chain, working directly with suppliers where possible and paying above Fairtrade prices as a stated practice rather than an aspiration.

Foundation uses 100% home-compostable 250g and 1kg bags printed with low-solvent inks. Coffee chaff is composted with a local community orchard and allotments.

Local deliveries use electric vehicles. The business actively encourages repurposing of hessian coffee sacks for craft and community projects.

Alongside coffee, Foundation sells equipment and supplies wholesale accounts across the UK.
