Coffee is the most consumed beverage in the United States, surpassing even water. The majority of coffee consumed is imported, with Brazil responsible for 37% of the U.S. supply. Coffee can only be cultivated in specific conditions, typically found in warm Southern Hemisphere climates. Efforts to grow coffee in the U.S. include research in Florida, which has yielded some success, and a hydroponic farm in North Carolina preparing to launch. Notable U.S. coffee brands include California Coffee Collective, which has transitioned land from avocado production to coffee cultivation, producing unique coffee varieties each season.
California Coffee Collective has successfully grown and harvested coffee in Ventura County, California. They converted avocado land to grow limited stock coffee, highlighting innovative agricultural practices.
Florida researchers are testing coffee crops with success despite hurricanes, and a hydroponic farm in North Carolina plans to sell its first batch of coffee beans, showcasing local growing initiatives.
