Little Seed Coffee Roasters was founded by Anthony and Maggie Gerakos, who began roasting as a hobby in their Brooklyn apartment before moving to Vermont. They officially opened their roastery and shop in October 2021, located in the historic Battell Block building in downtown Middlebury. The company is documented for its transparent sourcing practices, which include printing the names of coffee farmers directly on their product bags. They operate a 10-kilo roaster on-site, which is visible to customers to encourage an approachable and educational coffee experience.

Coffees researched from Little Seed Coffee Roasters

These are examples recorded during editorial research. They are not a live product feed. The coffee, lot, price, and availability may have changed. We have not necessarily brewed these coffees ourselves.

External customer, cafe, marketplace, and class ratings are not comparable measures of the quality of an individual coffee. We do not convert them into original tasting scores or brand-wide star ratings. Our independent reviews are published separately after a coffee has actually been brewed and evaluated.

Website

I was able to verify the brand's own online shop and several physical retail partners in Vermont through their official website's store locator and local news reports; however, specific product pages for the brand at these third-party retail locations were not available.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Oct 30, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.
