The meaning of Tend
When coming up with a name for our roaster we knew what kind of company we wanted it to be:

Community Oriented

Sustainable

Socially Conscious

We just needed a name that would speak to that. If you’ve ever tried to come up with a name for anything; a pet, child, new car you already know it’s not exactly easy. As we were searching to come up with something that would reflect our values, life goes on. At the time Sue, one of our Co-Founders was working part time at a local organic CSA for vegetables and I was busy at the helm of our roaster.

Somewhere between tending to the crops at the CSA and tending to a beautiful batch of Kenya AA in our roaster I dropped my infatuation with Italian sounding names with a vowel on the end – Mezz-a, Ozz-o, Tend-o (has a certain ring to it) and realized TEND symbolizes all our values in one word. Literally meaning to care for and look after. From our infinitely controllable small batch roaster to our low waste methods of running our business, this is a word that would come to define us.
