They reached their first — achieving 50% Farm-Direct sourcing for all coffee bought throughout the&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/biggbycoffee/info">BIGGBY® COFFEE</a> system — this month.&nbsp;“The way coffee is bought and sold today perpetuates poverty and climate change all over the world, and we are unwinding that, first, for BIGGBY® COFFEE,” Bob said. “And once we achieve our goal of 100% Farm-Direct within our system, we will move on to changing the industry.”In line with this milestone, BIGGBY® COFFEE is also launching a new Farm-Direct blend with its partner,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggby.com/fincalafortaleza?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=biggby-coffee-celebrates-50-farm-direct-milestone-launch-of-new-blend-as-it-changes-lives-around-the-world-2727201" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">La Fortaleza</a>, that will be available by the cup at local BIGGBY® COFFEE coffeehouses as well as for purchase by the bag.Through its partnerships with La Fortaleza,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.onebiggislandinspace.com/category/nicaragua/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=biggby-coffee-celebrates-50-farm-direct-milestone-launch-of-new-blend-as-it-changes-lives-around-the-world-2727201" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">El Recreo</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggby.com/cinderellas-shoe-at-finca-terrerito-copan-honduras/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=biggby-coffee-celebrates-50-farm-direct-milestone-launch-of-new-blend-as-it-changes-lives-around-the-world-2727201" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Finca Terrerito</a>, BIGGBY® COFFEE buys approximately 1.3 million pounds of coffee directly from the farmers each year. The next step is for the system to be purchasing 100% of its coffee Farm-Direct by 2028.“The vast majority of American consumers have no idea where coffee comes from. But more importantly, they have no idea&nbsp;who grows it,” Michelle said. “Because they have no idea, the industry itself continues to commoditize and marginalize these people, and — for many of them — keep them trapped in the cycle of generational poverty, contributing to environmental degradation and accelerating climate change. We believe that, if consumers have a sense of who these people are, that’s enough to change their buying behavior.”The Fishes dedicate the majority of their time to traveling around the world, meeting, visiting with and exploring potential partnerships with coffee farmers who are already doing the right thing for their people and the planet.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/miriam-morales-57836297/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=biggby-coffee-celebrates-50-farm-direct-milestone-launch-of-new-blend-as-it-changes-lives-around-the-world-2727201" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Miriam Morales</a>, president of El Recreo, a family farm that was started five decades ago, explains that the partnership with BIGGBY® COFFEE has been monumental, not only for the business, but for the impact it has been able to make on the larger community. With the resources they’ve had, the team at El Recreo has put in a school for workers’ kids, a kitchen to prepare communal meals, a chapel, a store, a school for adults, on-site housing and a small clinic.&nbsp;“With these resources, our staff can dream for their own lives. For example, this is the third year in a row that we’ve been able to give out bonuses,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/hector-morales-544b6b6b/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=biggby-coffee-celebrates-50-farm-direct-milestone-launch-of-new-blend-as-it-changes-lives-around-the-world-2727201" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hector Morales</a>, president of El Recreo. “That is another impact of the relationship with Bob and Michelle. The ability to do things like that creates a moment of pride and fulfillment for us, and we’re only able to do these things because of the stability we feel as a result of the Farm-Direct partnership.”This is just one of countless examples illustrating the wide-reaching impact these Farm-Direct partnerships have.&nbsp;“We’re at the halfway mark, but there’s a lot more to go,” Bob said. “We were a sponsor of the Producer Roaster Forum in Central America this year, and we received over 30 points of interest. We have two Farm-Direct possibilities in Burundi and Mozambique, and we will be going to Southeast Asia in the first quarter of 2025.”In addition to an ongoing search for additional Farm-Direct partners for BIGGBY® COFFEE, Bob and Michelle have leaned into the storytelling aspect of their work with OBIIS. Later this year, a series of short videos, called Field Notes, will launch on YouTube to tell the stories of producers and their teams.&nbsp;Through all their work with OBIIS, Bob and Michelle and BIGGBY® COFFEE continue to place the people and stories at the forefront, leveraging the power of a growing franchise system to help people build lives they love.About The BIGGBY® COFFEE FranchiseBIGGBY® COFFEE, based in East Lansing, Mich., was started with a single store on March 15, 1995. One year later, and on the cusp of opening a second location, Bob Fish and Michael McFall, on a handshake and $4,000, decided to franchise the concept. The brand’s cultural values of Make Friends, Have Fun, B Yourself and Share Great Coffee help coffee lovers and the coffee-curious alike benefit from a less pretentious and fun approach to the standard gourmet cafe paradigm. Besides connoisseur-worthy drinks with names like Teddy Bear® and Caramel Marvel®, BIGGBY® COFFEE baristas provide a unique experience focused on brightening their customers’ day and supporting them in building a life they love. The “Big ‘B’” on the orange background caught on, and today BIGGBY® COFFEE has 400+ cafes across many states, including Virginia, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida.

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/biggbybob/">Bob</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-fish-54ab23188/">Michelle Fish,</a> co-founders of the 450+ unit coffee franchise&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggbyfranchising.com/">BIGGBY® COFFEE</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.onebiggislandinspace.com/">One Bigg Island in Space (OBIIS)</a>, were recently featured on the podcast&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoXYFCmfPyA">“It Shouldn’t Be This Hard,”</a> where they talked about&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/biggbycoffee">BIGGBY® COFFEE’s</a> push toward regenerative agriculture. During the episode, they explained how direct work with farmers is shaping the company’s sourcing goals, why it matters for the future of coffee and how these efforts are influencing the way they think about building the brand.The episode highlights BIGGBY® COFFEE’s goal to source 100% of its beans through farm-direct, regenerative agriculture by 2028. Through its work with OBIIS, the company is partnering directly with farmers around the world, creating relationships that support soil health, strengthen communities and build long-term resilience in coffee-growing regions facing the realities of climate change.Bob and Michelle describe this approach as “capitalism with boundaries” — the idea that businesses must operate within planetary limits and moral responsibilities. It’s not philanthropy, they explain, but a pathway to survival for companies that rely on global agricultural systems under increasing strain.Throughout the conversation, the Fishes emphasize the role of empathy, storytelling and personal purpose in leading a sustainable brand. They also outline how direct-to-farmer sourcing creates transparency for coffee drinkers, helping them connect more deeply with the people who grow their beans.For BIGGBY® COFFEE, regenerative agriculture isn’t a marketing angle. It’s a long-term business strategy and a core part of its mission to build a company that supports people, protects the planet and inspires others in the industry to rethink what good business can look like.Watch the episode&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoXYFCmfPyA">here</a>.&nbsp;To learn more about franchising with BIGGBY® COFFEE, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biggbyfranchising.com/.">https://www.biggbyfranchising.com/.</a>&nbsp;
