Some businesses start with a business plan. Others start with an obsession.

Visiting Soul Clay Studios in Gerringong felt strangely familiar.

Their story isn’t all that different from ours. A passion for doing something they genuinely enjoyed became something they wanted to get better at. Then it became an obsession. And somewhere along the way, that obsession became a business.

It was great sitting down with Zaynep and Marcus and realising we’ve been building our businesses over a very similar timeline, facing plenty of the same challenges and following a pretty similar trajectory.

There’s something encouraging about meeting people who are a few steps along the same kind of road.

And this visit might turn into something even more exciting.

We’ve started talking about the possibility of developing a range of handmade coffee cups specifically for Walcha Coffee.

Nothing locked in yet, but we’re pretty excited about where that conversation could go.

Would you like to see a Zeynep Ceramics × Walcha Coffee collaboration?

There are moments you know you’ll miss before they’ve even passed.

A few quiet days in Kiama with family, and a little extra time with my granddaughter, has been a good reminder that life can’t always be measured by how much we get done.

Walcha Coffee keeps moving. Orders still go out. Coffee still gets roasted. There will always be another job waiting.

But she won’t stay this small for long.

So for a few days, I’m choosing to be here. To hold her a little longer. To enjoy the people I love. And to remember that, in the end, these are the moments all the work is really for.

Sometimes the most important thing you can do is make time for what matters most.

Brisbane, we’re coming for you.

On 12–13 October, Walcha Coffee is heading north to the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre for the Café & Coffee Experience at Food & Hospitality Queensland.

You’ll find us in the Roasters Village, brewing the coffees we’re proud to roast right here in Walcha, NSW.

For us, events like this are about much more than putting coffee in cups. They’re about meeting people, sharing the story of where we come from, talking coffee with people who care about it, and building relationships with cafés, retailers and coffee lovers across the country.

We’ll have plenty of Walcha Coffee flowing, including our award-winning blends, and we’d love you to come by, have a coffee and meet the team.

From a little roastery in a small agricultural town in the New England to Brisbane — we’re pretty proud of where this journey is taking us.

If you’re coming to the show, make sure you come and say hello.

What if growing up in a small town didn’t mean you had to leave it to build a future?

For generations, young people in rural Australia have often faced a difficult choice: stay in the community they love, or leave to find meaningful work and opportunity somewhere else.

We want to be part of changing that.

Walcha Coffee was never meant to be just about roasting great coffee. We want to build something here that creates real skills, meaningful careers and opportunities that young people can be proud of.

And the dream is bigger than simply giving our own kids a reason to stay.

We want to help build a Walcha that gives talented people from other towns, other regions and even other states a reason to move here.

A thriving rural community needs more than history and beautiful country. It needs businesses willing to grow, employ, train, invest and believe that regional Australia can have a strong future.

That’s the kind of business we’re trying to build.

We’re still a long way from where we want to be, but every bag of coffee sold helps us take another small step towards it.

Follow Walcha Coffee and come along for the journey as we try to build something worth staying for.

Spring in Walcha.

After months of cold mornings, frosts and that proper New England winter, suddenly everything starts to wake up. The trees burst into colour, the bees are everywhere, the days stretch out and the whole town feels alive again.

It’s one of the things I love most about living here. We don’t just get different weather, we get four genuinely distinct seasons, and each one changes the feel of the place completely.

But spring might be my favourite.

If you’ve been thinking about visiting Walcha, this is a very good time to do it. Beautiful country, plenty of great places to stay, some seriously good local businesses to explore and, of course, we’ll make sure there’s great coffee waiting for you.

Come and see Walcha in spring. You won’t be disappointed.

There’s something pretty special about arriving at an event in another state, a long way from home, and seeing familiar faces.

We’ve built such a great relationship with the team at The Alternative Dairy Co., and their support of Walcha Coffee at Fine Food Australia meant a lot to us.

When you’re travelling, working long days and surrounded by thousands of people you don’t know, having people there who know you, support what you’re doing and genuinely want to see you succeed makes a huge difference.

And then there’s the milk itself. We know our coffee works beautifully with Alternative Dairy Co. Their milk is consistent, performs incredibly well behind the machine and allows the flavours in our coffee to really shine.

Partnerships like this are about much more than having a product sitting beside ours. They’re about good people backing good people.

Thanks to Wojtek, Luis, and the whole Alternative Dairy Co. crew for looking after us in Melbourne, for the milk, the encouragement and for making a little piece of home feel not quite so far away.

We’re very grateful to have you alongside us.

There’s something pretty special about unexpectedly walking into a shop hundreds of kilometres from home and seeing your coffee sitting on the shelf.

On the drive home from Fine Food Australia, we pulled into Gundagai and decided to surprise one of our stockists, Marshall’s Mercantile.

They had no idea we were coming.

It was such a good reminder that Walcha Coffee is travelling far beyond Walcha now, carried into beautiful independent shops by people who believe in good products, good stories and supporting regional businesses.

And Marshall’s Mercantile is exactly that sort of place. Full of interesting products, thoughtful gifts and plenty to discover. Emily and Jazz even managed to sort out some Father’s Day shopping while we were there.

To every café, supermarket and independent retailer that puts Walcha Coffee on the shelf: thank you. We never take it for granted.

If you’re travelling through Gundagai, go and have a look through Marshall’s Mercantile. And keep an eye out for a little piece of Walcha while you’re there.

A great palate is one thing. A palate that has been professionally tested, calibrated and trusted at the highest levels of coffee for decades is something else entirely.

Shaz is a Q Grader.

For those outside the coffee industry, that little title carries a lot of weight. Q Graders are trained to assess coffee with remarkable precision — identifying flavour, aroma, acidity, sweetness, body, balance and defects, and doing it against internationally recognised standards.

It is demanding sensory work, and maintaining that level of calibration over a career takes enormous skill.

Shaz has been doing it for longer than many people working in coffee today have been in the industry.

And we get to have that palate at Walcha Coffee.

She tastes our coffees. She questions things. She notices what the rest of us can miss. She pushes us when something could be better and helps us understand why. Her experience has genuinely shaped the coffee we roast and the standards we set for ourselves.

But Shaz’s impact on us goes well beyond what she can taste in a cup.

She is extraordinarily generous with what she knows. She encourages people, gives her time freely, listens deeply and has a way of making the people around her better. There is a kindness and humility about her that means her experience never feels intimidating. It feels shared.

Awards are wonderful. Equipment matters. Good green coffee matters.

But having someone with Shaz’s depth of sensory experience sitting at the table with us is incredibly difficult to put a value on.

And having someone of her character beside us matters just as much.

She’s one of our owners, one of the people helping shape where Walcha Coffee goes next, and very much our secret weapon.

We’re enormously proud to have her on our team.
