Hi Everyone, I’m Zoe! I came up to Alaska in 2016 to work on Prince of Wales Island out of Craig. After working as a Soil Scientist for a couple summers there, I followed my need for more winter up to Southcentral Alaska where I continued to work with soils in the Copper River Basin and around the state.

Fast forward to winter of 2021 and I was desperate for more engagement and interaction with humans, and more creativity with a job. I quit my job and Farm Loop Coffee was born in late 2021. Quickly, I realized how much I needed work like this and how much interest there was in a small-batch specialty coffee roaster in Palmer.

Growing up in Oregon, I saw many specialty coffee roasters and shops pop up and I got to experience and taste a lot of them. My sister and brother-in-law definitely facilitated my love for specialty coffee, as it was always a huge part of any visit. I started home-roasting with them some years back and became more interested in roasting my own coffee. Now here I am today, so stoked on the support Farm Loop Coffee has gotten and looking forward to what’s in store.

When I’m not working on Farm Loop Coffee, I might be trail running around town or skiing in Hatcher. More likely, I’ll be doing either of those things with my dog, Chloe. I love Palmer and being a part of this community that we all call home.
