The Land & Sea Story

Land & Sea Coffee was born out of love — love for coffee, for the ocean, for adventure, and for community.

It started with early mornings checking the surf, a fresh cup of coffee in hand, and miles of coastline ahead. Over two years, I drove more than 55,000 miles up and down the Baja and California coast — surfing, shooting photos, and brewing coffee in some of the most beautiful places you could imagine.

Coffee became more than a drink. It grounded me. I think back to waking up at a quiet beach, the first light breaking over the horizon, brewing that cup, and feeling completely present in the moment.

I started sharing those mornings through photos and stories — coffee brewing in the van, waves rolling in, salt air drifting through the door. People would write back saying things like, “I wish I were drinking coffee at the beach instead of my desk,” or “You’re living the dream.” That’s when the idea sparked: what if coffee could carry that same feeling of freedom and connection?

The vision grew into Land & Sea Coffee: an organic, fair-trade coffee company that’s about more than just coffee. It’s about slowing down, embracing the outdoors, building community, and capturing it all through story and photography.

And now, Kelly and I are taking this dream forward together. What began as my personal journey has become our shared adventure — blending both of our passions, creativity, and love for connection into this brand. Together, we’re bringing new energy, fresh ideas, and a deep excitement for what’s to come.

Whether you’re waking up by the beach or starting your day at the office, we want Land & Sea Coffee to be part of your daily ritual.

We’re so glad you’re here. Welcome to the Land & Sea community — the story is just getting started.
