Hear it first hand

Friends of the Farmer was unlike any ride I've been on. It wasn't just about reaching a destination- it was about understanding where our coffee comes from and meeting the people behind every cup. Riding through Coorg and sharing those conversations with the Maverick & Farmer team made the experience truly memorable.
Mahima
The estate visit completely changed how I look at specialty coffee. From the plantation walk to conversations with Tej and Ashish, every moment felt personal and thoughtfully curated. It was the perfect blend of riding, learning, and community.
Shrey
What stood out the most was the sense of community. Great roads, incredible coffee, delicious local food, and meaningful conversations with fellow riders made this much more than just a weekend trip. I came back with new friendships and a much deeper appreciation for coffee.
