"Crafted with Care, Roasted with Tradition – Coffee from Our Farm to You"
At Hoffskeller, we’re not just passionate about roasting exceptional coffee – we’re also dedicated to preserving the legacy of our family farm. Max and Jack have spent countless hours lovingly restoring our century-old barn, blending tradition with innovation.
Our journey starts with coffee beans from a farm in Colombia, which travel all the way to our farm in Cedarburg, WI, before reaching your cup. This farm has been in our family for three generations. Over the years, it’s been home to dairy cows, beef cattle, hogs, crops like corn, wheat, and soybeans, and even a variety of animals like chickens, goats, sheep, and horses — not to mention plenty of cats and dogs! As the landscape around us has evolved, we sought a way to keep the farm alive and thriving, even as suburban sprawl encroaches.
We found our answer in a craft that might have been practiced by our German and Norwegian ancestors when the area was first settled — roasting coffee. As lifelong coffee enthusiasts, we pondered how they made coffee back in the day. The answer? Green coffee beans bought at the general store and roasted by hand in a cast-iron Dutch Oven. Inspired by that tradition, we gave it a try ourselves — and the result? Incredible coffee!
While we’re new to the business, we believe we’ve uncovered something truly unique, authentic, and rooted in history. We’ve shared our roasts with friends, family, and local markets, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. We’d love for you to experience it too! If you’re not quite ready to dive in, don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. You can visit our website at www.hoffskeller.com for reviews or get in touch by phone or email. We’re still learning and would love to hear your thoughts.
If you’re nearby, we’d love for you to visit — not only to try our coffee but also to see the farm that’s been at the heart of our family for generations. And if you’re curious, ask us about the meaning behind "Hoffskeller" — it's a name that’s close to our hearts.
Warmly,
Max, Jack, Janean, and Dave
Founders of Hoffskeller
