Bean North Coffee Roasting

The vendor's own team page states Christine Pellegrin owns Bean North with her husband Brandon, both Canadian residents based in the Yukon; this is a privately held, family-owned company, not a worker-owned cooperative as a third-party directory claims. Its memberships in Cooperative Coffees and Fair Trade Proof are purchasing and roaster cooperatives for sourcing green coffee, not equity stakes in Bean North itself. Neither Corporations Canada nor the Yukon corporate registry offers a usable free search to independently confirm the ownership share, so this rests on the vendor's own statement.

Green coffee cannot be grown in Canada, so every bean Bean North roasts is imported. Its single-origin lineup names beans from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, and Indonesia, bought directly from small-scale farmers and their exporting cooperatives through Cooperative Coffees, so the mix goes entirely to OTHER with no stated origin in the US or EU.
