For many small roasters, the idea of scaling can feel out of reach due to limited capital, time, or access to infrastructure. But with the right strategy, it’s possible to grow your brand without sacrificing quality, consistency, or identity. This workshop is designed for roasting professionals and brand owners looking to explore collaborative production models that support sustainable growth.

Key Takeaways:

Shared Roasting & Co-Manufacturing: Understand how to leverage shared production spaces and partner with co-manufacturers to expand efficiently.
Maintaining Brand Integrity: Learn practical methods for ensuring flavor consistency and preserving your brand voice across multiple roasting sites.
Distributed Systems Thinking: Discover how decentralized production models can unlock new revenue streams, storytelling opportunities, and market access.
Case Study – Quantum Seeds: Explore how speaker Shanita Nicholas's company uses origin-based roasting and distributed systems to enhance quality, lower costs, and uplift communities.

Attendees will leave with a toolkit of strategies for scaling their roasting operation using collaborative and distributed approaches - without compromising the heart of their brand.
