The relationship between a coffee shop owner and their roaster is a critical one. The positive energy and love that comes from a handcrafted roaster is no comparison to an automated one.
I know the real test is without cream and sugar. But I did that yesterday and I still prefer cream and sugar. Thank you, @moose_mountain_goods for a great tasting! You’re amazing!

Do you ever find yourself looking around, watching your kids zoned into video games and constantly texting friends? Remember the good ole days? Those long summer days when mom would lock you out of the house with your siblings first thing in the morning, and tell you to not come home until dinner? For some of us it wasn’t that extreme, but we remember a better day—a time when imagination, creativity and being active in the outdoors was valued over all things. We want that for our boys, we want that for their future.
What began as a love for all things coffee and outdoors, has become a family business, where the entire Cotton Crew plays an important role. Delicious Mountain Roast Coffee is now the order of the day around here!
We are family owned and operated, with family values:
- God first
- Quality family time
- Love generously
- Treat others kindly
- Find joy in hard work
- Stop and smell the coffee.
Ben is a Captain on the Abilene Fire Department and a certified ACE Fitness Instructor. Lindsey is a professional photographer and bridal show producer. Together we dream big and love helping others grow their business as well! Jackson (15 yrs) and Lincoln (10 yrs) are eager to help and learn new things. Both boys are homeschooled, right here at the Cotton Academy! These boys are responsible, respectful and full of life! Don’t underestimate the value of hard working kids, these boys take pride in their work!
What a blessing to work as a family, and to watch our two young boys become men hard at work. Our family has a heart for entrepreneurship and community, and we look forward to bringing people together over a great cup of coffee!
