Wild Gift Coffee was founded in 2014 by Clancy Rose and spouses Rob and Jenée Ovitt, who have worked in the coffee industry since 2004. The company initially operated in Round Rock for three years before relocating its roasting operations to North Austin. They are documented for their commitment to direct trade, sourcing approximately 90% of their beans through personal relationships with producers. The roastery is known for its hands-on, small-batch production process that avoids automation and utilizes a dedicated training lab for wholesale clients.

I verified the brand's own online shop and several physical retail partners in Austin, Texas, including Once Over Coffee Bar and Theory Coffee Co. While reports mention the brand is available at Central Market, I could not locate a specific product page on the Central Market website to confirm current inventory, so I excluded it to ensure accuracy.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Oct 26, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.

Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-06. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. While the brand mentions sourcing from female producers and specific countries, I could not verify a comprehensive list of current farm-level partners or a detailed transparency report on their website.
