Starting a new business during the COVID years was not for the weak of heart. Regardless, Hannah Moyer decided to go for it and make her dream of opening a coffee company a reality.
“My husband Mike and I knew we wanted to start our own business from the time we started dating, and with his knowledge of coffee roasting (it has been a hobby for years), we thought this was a good place to start,” she said. “We started professionally roasting in 2019 but didn’t turn the dream into a full reality until early 2020.”
Moyer is the chief operating officer of M&H Beans Coffee Co + Roastery in North Canton. She had worked previously in food sales and the coffee program opened her eyes to all the possibilities in that field. Her husband is a coffee connoisseur and she felt she had a built-in coffee educator.
She graduated from Grandview Heights High School in Columbus, then went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in communications at Ohio University.
She and her husband now reside in North Canton with a baby kitty named Lenny.
