From Oaxaca to Oakland, Proyecto Diaz Coffee Champions Small Farms and a Family Legacy

“There are not many roasteries that have a first-hand account of what the family farmers are going through to produce coffee,” says Fernando Diaz, co-owner of Proyecto Diaz Coffee, an Oakland-based, family-run roastery. “And then be able to communicate that, authentically tell their story, and teach others about the work and tenacity that goes into producing that nice cup of coffee that you’re drinking in the morning.”

While sipping on his own freshly brewed coffee in the newly opened Proyecto Diaz Coffee cafe in West Oakland, Fernando describes the growing and harvesting of coffee that he witnessed on his recent trip to his family’s farm in Oaxaca. He also reflects on his constantly growing appreciation for farmers, both abroad and at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, where Proyecto Diaz has been keeping shoppers “caffeinated with purpose” since 2020.
