Worcester, MA – Ian’s first attempt at roasting coffee beans in a frying pan filled his Leicester kitchen with smoke. The experiment turned into a hobby and eventually an online business, Tall Pines Coffee.
On Voice of Business, presented by the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, Ian told Radio Worcester how the Worcester Regional Food Hub helped him make the leap from home roasting to selling coffee. The Food Hub helped him with food safety certification and gave him access to a shared commercial kitchen. He named the business for the pine forest around his Leicester home, where he first started roasting. Visit Tall Pines Coffee.
How the Food Hub helps small food businesses grow
Kim Gordon explained how sharing commercial kitchen space gives entrepreneurs room to grow without the upfront cost of building and equipping their own facilities. Gordon also shared updates on vendor expansions at Quinsigamond Community College and the Fitchburg Public Market.
