When Dean Cycon started Dean’s Beans in 1993, he set out to prove that a for-profit business could create meaningful change through ethical practices rooted in respect for the earth, the farmer, our co-workers, and the consumer. More than three decades later, these values continue to guide their work every day. Today, as a worker-owned cooperative, Dean's Beans carries the mission forward together, committed to using specialty coffee as a vehicle for positive change and continuing the practices that have always been at the heart of the company.
