Growing cafe's business through innovative community partnerships:I started Wild Goose back in 2008 with a dream of using coffee as a vehicle for doing good, both at the farm level and here stateside. What started out as a weekly booth at the local farmer's market quickly grew in scope and popularity as more and more people caught our vision: for every pound of coffee we sell, we provide 10 lbs of food to local food banks.The local paper did an article on us back in December of 2008, where people buying our coffee had provided over 250 lbs of food to Joseph's Storehouse Food Bank in Redlands.Today, that vision has expanded to partner cafes serving Wild Goose Coffee with food banks in their neighborhood - to date, customers drinking Wild Goose Coffee at their local cafes have provided nearly two million pounds of coffee to food banks up and down the state.We use this innovative business model, as well as our cafe consulting and barista training to grow cafe business by an average of 20% annually.It is work that is unbelievably fulfilling - roasting award-winning coffee while helping people, both locally and abroad.

Our primary goal is to create content (both written and otherwise) that bring people deeper in their relationship with God.This happens both weekly, providing content in parallel with the sermon series (through the App), as well as through special projects that support the various ministry departments at Sandals.When someone engages with our content and takes a step closer to becoming real with themselves, God, and others, then we have accomplished our goal.
