Matt Earley first met small-scale coffee farmers in Chiapas, Mexico in 1997. For over 20 years he has worked in the fair trade/organic coffee industry wandering the world meeting farmers, roasters, and other fellow travelers. After collaborating and traveling with Café Campesino and Sweetwater through their importing cooperative Cooperative Coffees for years, he officially joined the team as Director of Sales, Marketing, and Community in 2021. When he's not immersed in all things coffee he enjoys playing music, being active outdoors, and spending time with his family and big old dogs.
