Seeds, a popular hangout for young and old alike in Birmingham, has been well known for its relaxing atmosphere, acoustic concerts, and quality coffee. Â Now they are relying on their loyal patrons to open a second location in Lakeview.
Seeds’ Mission
Seeds Coffee Company is a community-driven coffee shop that serves its community and the coffee farmer.
This coffee company’s goal hopes to provide honorable work and a fair wage for the farmer through a direct relationship with them.
In opening up a second shop, they will be better able to sustain the purchase of direct-trade coffee. Â This not only betters Birmingham, but also coffee farmers abroad.
“The reason we’re starting a second store is not to make more money, the reason we’re starting a second store in Lakeview is to fulfill the goal we have to source and sustain coffee relationships with farmers.”
-Jeff Huey, owner of Seeds Coffee Company
