Hi, I’m Ben, the founder of Birchstone Coffee Co.

I’ve called New Hampshire home for most of my life, and like many New Englanders, I’ve always found comfort and inspiration in the natural beauty around us. Whether it’s a quiet sunrise in the White Mountains or a windswept coastline in Acadia National Park, the outdoors has shaped who I am. Hiking, exploring, and capturing those landscapes through photography are some of my greatest joys.

And through it all, there’s always been coffee. For me, a cup of coffee isn’t just a morning routine—it’s a way to slow down, reflect, and connect. Over the years, I realized I wanted to create something that brought all these passions together: a love for the outdoors, an appreciation for community, and of course, really good coffee.

The name Birchstone is a nod to my roots. New Hampshire is known as the Granite State, and the white birch is both our state tree and the street I grew up on—Birch Drive. Together, “Birch” and “Stone” represent the place that shaped me and the spirit I wanted this company to carry forward: strong, natural, and deeply connected to home.

That’s how Birchstone Coffee Co. was born. Every bag we share is meant to be more than just coffee—it’s an invitation to pause, to take in the view, and to enjoy the moment.

Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to share the journey with you.

— Ben
