Wonderstate prides itself on sustainable business practices. It became one of the first 100% solar-powered coffee roasteries in the world in 2015 and was the first company to win Roast Magazine’s Roaster of the Year twice. It has a mission to support farmers and small businesses by paying above the fair trade price of coffee, and it gives back 5% of profits to support land conservation, the LGBTQ+ community and revitalizing the Ojibwe language. The company has been steadily growing. Over a decade ago, Wonderstate roasted around 100,000 pounds of coffee beans per year; now the company roasts about 450,000 and expects to roast 500,000 this year.
