Coffee entrepreneur enhances local experience with new tasting room in Michigan

Ron Martin, owner of Ron's Beans in Portage, Michigan, has expanded his coffee business with a new tasting room that opened a year ago. He roasts coffee in small batches and offers personalized service, including quick deliveries for special orders. Martin sources beans from farms in South America, building relationships with farmers to support their communities. He plans to visit a Nicaraguan farm this winter and will host an event in November to educate customers about the farms and their coffee. The tasting room features a variety of drinks and baked goods from local businesses. Martin aims to create an inclusive experience for all coffee drinkers while continuing to support charitable causes like the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
