Business is blooming in Lansing's Old Town.
In late 2014, the co-owners of
Bloom Coffee Roasters moved their less-than-year-old business from a south side warehouse into an 800-square-foot space at 1236 Turner St. It was a move, says Master Roaster Jared Field, that put him and business partner Cameron Russell in the right place at the right time for business growth.
"We're very excited to be completely immersed in the Old Town business culture and the atmosphere that comes with it," says Field. "It feels as if everything's in its right place."
Bloom Coffee Roasters focuses on sourcing high-quality coffee and roasting beans for optimal flavor. Field and Russell currently offer coffee from six different countries of origin in both whole bean or ground varieties. Coffees can be purchased through the Web site, or through the
Allen Street Farmer's Market, Old Town General Store and
Spotted Dog Café. A coffee program for businesses enables companies and organizations to place orders for up to five pounds of coffee at a time.
Long-term, Field hopes to build craft brewing and preparation into the equation. For now, he and Russell are sticking to the grind. Plans are also brewing for programs and services that benefit the greater good and particular non-profits.
"As an entrepreneur and as a human being in general, it's important to consistently grow and to always strive to be better," says Field. "It's also important to us to contribute to making our community a better, safer, and more comfortable place to live."
