In a very MacGyver-sorta way, he repurposed a BBQ grill roaster outfitted with a stainless steel drum and began to roast coffee in his backyard. I roasted 800 pounds of coffee in my yard, Matt says. Four pounds a batch took about 20 minutes. Those backyard batches first made their way to the Lansdale Farmers Market.As their business expanded, the couple set up a commercial roaster in their home, which makes coffee production more efficient.Backyard Beans is still a small-batch roaster, with all coffee roasted in 5-pound batches. It gets its beans from countries such as Brazil, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Peru through a New Jersey-based importer.The coffee is organically sourced and fair trade, something that Matt and Laura feel passionately about. Fair trade is a movement whose goal is to help <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Real-Gucci-Belt>Real Gucci Belt</a>  small producers in developing countries to get a fair price for their coffee, provide ethical treatment for workers, and support sustainable and green practices. From an economic perspective fair trade is so beneficial to farmers, Matt says. I look at things through that lens. Backyard Beans is sold in 1 pound and half-pound bags of whole bean coffee. You can also grind it yourself at the markets.Matt roasts the beans in a way that maximizes the characteristics that <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Hamilton>Michael Kors Hamilton</a>  come from the bean of a specific origin.Flavors vary and are seasonal but Laura points out a top seller, Punch in the Face, a light French roast, with a dark, bold and smoky flavor.There's also Sumatra Ketiara, a medium-dark roast that produces a flavor that's part earthiness and part chocolately. It's made from single-origin beans, grown in the forests in the Takengon Highland surrounding Leuser National Park in central Aceh, North Sumatra. Single-origin coffee is from beans grown in one region. Coffee devotees will argue that single-origin coffees have more distinct tastes than those that are made from blends of beans from different areas.Backyard Beans' Hope Blend is a mix of dark- and medium-roasted beans. The company will donate a portion of sales of this blend to organizations dedicated to helping communities and protecting the environment.Proceeds from the blend have benefited: Manna on Main (Lansdale); Habitat for Humanity <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Ugg-And-Jimmy-Choo-Boots>Ugg And Jimmy Choo Boots</a>  Montgomery County; North Penn Valley Boys Girls Club; and Water is Basic. From each sale of the $12 coffee, $5 is donated. This blend is sold through their website and at the Lansdale and Hatboro farmers markets. We want to be a company that is focused on making an impact on our community, Matt says.twitter @jenwsheehan610-820-6628WHERE TO BUY THE BEANSSome locations that sell Backyard Beans coffee: Nazareth Farmers Market, every-other Saturday, including Aug. 30, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Keystone Homebrew Supply, 435 Doylestown Road, Montgomeryville Kulp Spice Shoppe, 303 W.
