"A Gofundme campaign in support of the Ruskeys' three children and funeral costs described the couple as "caring and generous members of our community, always eager to support schools, causes, and friends" and as "loving and fiercely engaged parents to their cherished children." "We are all at a loss to navigate this unimaginable tragedy, but we are reaching out for support to help the Ruskey family with funeral costs, memorial arrangements, and to alleviate immediate financial pressure," organizer Jose Caballero wrote."
"After Good Land began experimenting with growing coffee in 2012, Jay Ruskey incorporated Frinj in 2017 and brought its first microlots of California green coffee to market, capturing the attention of high-end roasters throughout the country. More recently, the Frinj name captured international attention by fetching $256 per kilogram ($116 per pound) for a 20-kilogram lot of fully washed Gesha-variety coffee at the DMCC Dubai Coffee Auction."
"A spokesperson for the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office told Daily Coffee News that the case is under investigation and that "the deaths do not appear to be suspicious." In an Instagram post today, Frinj Coffee described Ruskey as "a genius for organic agriculture." "When the world said California couldn't produce coffee, he proved them wrong when one of his coffees made history""
John "Jay" Ruskey and Kristen Ruskey died on Feb. 8 in Cambria, California.
