What started as a side hustle for founder Aaron Wood with a small 1kg roaster has grown into a well-respected, full-time business. A New Zealander by origin, Aaron honed his skills as a Green Bean Buyer for Seven Seeds before starting Wood and Co in 2015. Joined by his partner Janna Royse, they run the Melbourne-based business with a "mom and pop" feel, centered on people and relationships. They are dedicated to sourcing and roasting quality coffee, with a focus on showcasing the producers behind the beans.
