New Coffee Roaster in Ocala Brings Flavor and Heart to the Community

David Beachboard has launched Norman Coffee Roasters LLC in Ocklawaha, Florida, with a mission to provide quality specialty coffee. He moved to Florida from Washington State in 2021 with his wife, Cara, and their rescue donkey, Norman, who inspired the company’s name and logo. After years of working in the coffee industry, Beachboard decided to start his own business in July 2024. His coffee is available at local markets and online.

• Beachboard roasts beans sourced from Peru and Colombia, focusing on dark roast varieties.

• In just five months, he has sold over 500 pounds of coffee, with positive feedback from customers.

• The roasting process takes place in his home, where he ensures quality control at every step.

• Norman, the donkey, adds a unique touch to the brand, symbolizing compassion and rescue.

This new venture not only supports local coffee lovers but also highlights the importance of small businesses in the community. It shows how passion and care can create a meaningful connection between a product and its customers.
