About us

Progeny Coffee was co-founded by Maria Palacio, a fifth-generation Colombian coffee farmer, and her husband, John Trabelsi, with the mission to transform the coffee industry by uplifting farmers out of poverty. By cutting out middlemen and offering full transparency from bean to cup, Progeny ensures that farmers receive fair compensation for their hard work. Beyond delivering exceptional coffee, the company is dedicated to sustainability, education, and creating a positive impact on both farming communities and coffee lovers.
