Growing up Marley, we wanted anything we put our hands on to be beneficial to the environment and the community.

From the very beginning at Marley Coffee, we have appreciated the importance of growing our beans sustainably.

When you're growing up in Jamaica and you don't have much, and then you gain more and more... you can now share the more that you have with the people that have less because you know what less is like.

I spent time living in Ethiopia, learning about the cultural importance of coffee and its roots in Ethiopia.

My family is delighted every time I cook maitake. Our taste buds awaken in anticipation of its rich, deep and nuanced flavors.

The family and friends and the people I surround myself allow me to keep my feet firmly on the floor and not get too big-headed.

Cooking is an important part of a good, stable family life. I like to get the family together; there's a huge nurturing element in it.

I get a lot of letters, mostly from family members who have been affected by cancer rather than young people themselves. I reply to them all.
