About Us

At House of the Guud Shepherd Co, we’re not just selling coffee—we’re sharing a journey that started years ago in the heart of Nicaragua. In 2017, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in this beautiful country. While I was there, I experienced the rich, bold flavors of locally grown coffee in a way I had never imagined. I visited small coffee farms, where I learned firsthand how coffee was grown, harvested, and carefully crafted into the flavorful beans that would soon find their way into cups around the world.

I never knew that this eye-opening experience would lead me to where I am today, almost a decade later, running my own coffee business. At House of the Guud Shepherd Co, we bring the same authenticity and passion for quality that I found on those Nicaraguan farms into every product we offer. Our coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a crafted moment, built on a foundation of sustainable practices, ethical sourcing, and the kind of rich, bold flavors that complement every part of your day.
