Beginnings
Once upon a time, two young entrepreneurs grew restless of travelling. They wanted less wander, more wonder. They also wanted to settle down. To dig into something big.
They started by choosing the Rocky Mountains, near Invermere BC as a good place to live, work and play. And then they picked a product they were passionate about: coffee.
In 1996 they got down to business. Setting out to make the freshest, best-tasting coffee possible they began roasting small batches of beans in their garage. It was hard, hot work. The results were nothing but delicious.
Even though the 'garage' has grown and there's lots more beans, it's still the same business. Wake up & kick ass with Kicking Horse coffee!
Why Kicking Horse?
A legend tells of a Rocky Mountain explorer who was kicked in the head by a horse.
His companions thought him nearly dead, but he was revived with a kick-ass cup of coffee.
The legend continues, the name stuck. Today, Kicking Horse Coffee lives on.
