Backyard Beans Coffee
Welcome to Backyard Beans. We are a true artisan roastery located in our red barn, in our backyard, in Summerland, BC.
In our roasting barn everything is done by hand. Our mission is to stay small and hands on. We roast batches on a big old, fully manual, 12kg Probat roaster. Love and attention are put into every roast.
The beans we roast come from all around the globe and are the highest grade of organic available. As well, they are all ethically correct, “farmer friendly” beans. All but three are either certified organic, UTZ certified, Rainforest Alliance or all of the above. The three not certified organic, Cuban, Brazilian and Burundi are organic by default. Grown by farmers who do not have the money or resources to become certified.
We love to hear from people out there. Links to cool things and other relevant topics are encouraged too. To send a comment, place an order or find out where you can purchase our beans in your locale your contact options are:
If you’re ever in the neighbourhood, drop in. Our hours are usually waking up (7am ish) to going to sleep (9pm ish).

I was given some of your coffee for Christmas. It is delicious
Do you have a price list on the site?
How about making a Facebook page? It would be a nice way to spread the word to all my friends. I think they’d love it too.

Hi; We bought a 1/2 lb of your wonderful beans at Urban Harvest and Choices and absolutely loved it !! My Austrian (coffee-house capital of the world!!) husband and I are thrilled to have found you as we both love a good strong cup of caffe as well as are strong supporters of local farmers, suppliers, and businesses! (we are local small business owners also) We love your simple & colorful packaging, your creative coffee names, and your farmer-&- earth-friendly organic commitments. You’ve definitely got new & happy clients with us and look forward to trying new beans as they are available. Sincerely Suzanne and Michael Hintringer, Kelowna BC

Thank you for making such great great coffee!

I am from Edmonton AB. We just purchased a number of pounds of coffee via a fundraiser from you guys.
I can start with this . . . DAMN you guys. . . .I’m SOOO addicted to your blends of coffee.
My wife and I are starting to get slightly worried as we will be running low fairly soon. We have looked around and can’t find your products anywhere locally; Of this we are truely saddened.

Hi
I am absolutely addicted to your Wake Up Bomb coffee. It is amazing! My mother-in-law was visiting from Montreal, we made a pot of coffee and she was blown away. Grocery store coffee doesn’t even compare.
Great work, keep it up and thank you!
