Founded to advance the lives of small coffee farmers and their surrounding communities, Zion Coffee Co has excelled at this mission since Day One. Their exceptional coffee is purchased through a direct-trade model with individual farmers and small cooperatives—not only paying a fair price for their hard work and excellent crop, but building personal relationships and providing opportunities for them to participate in new markets. The unmistakable passion and humanity of owners Mike and Banu Hatfield have built a loyal clientele and created a place of community in Peoria’s Warehouse District.
