EP 207: Peanut Interviews Tami @ WagonCoffee Roasters, LLC
Peanut5280 had a chance this week to sit down with Tami Canaday the Founder/Owner of Wagon Coffee Roasters, LLC https://wagoncoffeeroasters.com/. They specialize in COFFEE FOR ADDICTION RECOVERY *Support Women In Recovery from Addiction *Support Farmer's Livelihood Through Our Ethically Sourced Beans *Support Clean Energy Through Our Zero-Emissions Roaster. Tami with Wagon Coffee Roasters LLC aligns with her husband Ryan and FREE - A Spiritual Community for Addicts, Loved Ones of Addicts, and Spiritual Refugees https://freespiritualcommunity.com/.
Tami, Owner/Founder of Wagon Coffee, identifies as a Recovery Advocate and Loved One of an Addict. Her husband, Ryan, is 8+ years sober. She has witnessed the beautiful transformation of recovery through him and within their marriage. In 2018, Ryan and Tami launched a nonprofit called FREE—for Addicts, loved ones of Addicts, and spiritual refugees. They create space for healing, recovery, and spiritual connection.
Because of FREE, Tami learned more about women in recovery, their stories, the alarming and increasing addiction stats, and the hardships they face as WOMEN in recovery; 5.7% of women have a substance use disorder in the United States. She also discovered some staggering COVID-19 statistics...according to a Journal of American Medical Report (JAMA) report Women, in particular, exhibited a 41% increase in alcohol consumption over a 2019 baseline. Tami decided to do something, in the midst of a pandemic, to help women in recovery. And it just so happens [ironically enough] that 90% of recovering addicts and alcoholics drink coffee! Wagon Coffee was founded in 2020 by Tami Canaday in response to the critical need for assistance for those afflicted with alcohol and drug addiction. So, along comes wagon coffee...Why “Wagon”?! It comes from the century old saying, when you are sober, you are “on the wagon”. They are “being the wagon” by guiding women in recovery towards wholeness by providing second chances through employment, encouragement, & empowerment.
Together Ryan and Tami are immersed in the process of offering healing, wholeness, inclusivity, & sustainability. Join them in being part of the solution.
No Sippy No Slippy. Not Another Drop No matter What.
