Good decaf is hard to find… but we’ve got you covered. ☕️✨

Our smooth, full-bodied Norte Café Decaf is now available at Almsted’s Fresh Market in Crystal and Sentryz Market in Northeast Minneapolis!

It’s the perfect cup for cozy fall nights — all the flavor, without of the caffeine. 🍁
And if you’re looking for a little boost, you can find our Light, Medium, and Dark Roasts (caffeinated!) at HyVee , Kowalski’s , Jerry’s Foods, and several local co-ops in Minnesota — plus County Market in Hudson, WI and Oneota Community Co-op in Decorah, IA. 🌿

Can’t make it to one of those stores? You can always order online at www.nortecafe.shop or find us at farmers’ markets and seasonal events throughout the year. 💛

🌱☀️ Harvest Season is Coming!

In Colombia, coffee is harvested year-round, but there are two main harvests—and our biggest one of the year is just about to begin. 🍒 This is when the farm comes alive with hand-picking, sorting, washing, and drying coffee cherries at their peak.

From our family farm in Colombia, those beans make their way all the way to Minnesota, where we get to share the freshest taste of the season with you at local markets. 🏞️☕

Every bag of Norte Café is a direct connection between our harvest and your morning cup—grown with care, picked by hand, and roasted fresh for you. ❤️

We’ll be at booth #110

💚 “Together as a family, we peel the green beans by hand, remove each husk, roast them over fire, and grind them the old-fashioned way. Coffee made with tradition, patience, and love — just like it’s been done for generations in Colombia. 🌱☕️”

This is what a full day of picking coffee cherries looks like on our family farm 🌱☀️ Every sack and every bunch carries the effort of many hands and a lot of love ❤️

🌽☕ Celebrating Corn Season with a Side of Coffee Love

It’s officially corn season, and there’s no better time to shine a light on our friends at Oro by Nixta Tortilleria & Restaurant —home to some of the most unforgettable, handcrafted tacos you’ll ever taste. 🌮

Chef Gustavo Romero and his wife Kate pour their hearts into every tortilla, using heirloom corn to honor tradition, flavor, and culture. Their dedication has earned them national recognition—named one of Bon Appétit’s Top 20 Best Restaurants of 2024 and a proud James Beard Award nominee.

And here’s the part we’re especially proud of…they serve Norte Café right alongside their incredible food. That means you can sip coffee grown on our family farm in Colombia while enjoying tacos made with corn that’s been nixtamalized with the same care and passion.

🌽 Taste the heritage.
☕ Sip the story.
❤️ Support the people who make food and coffee with love.

📍 Stop by Nixta this season—you’ll leave full, happy, and maybe a little in love.
