Julia Peixoto Peters, founder and co-owner of Peixoto Coffee, an award-winning specialty coffee company bringing a true farm-to-cup experience to Arizona. Peixoto Coffee oversees the entire journey—from beans grown on Julia's family's century-old farm in southern Brazil to roasting and serving them in its Arizona cafés—creating exceptional coffee while supporting a more sustainable future for coffee producers. Julia grew up on her family's coffee farm in Brazil, watching firsthand the challenges coffee farmers face in a global commodity market. After building a successful corporate career as an attorney, she and her husband, Jeff Peters, made the bold decision to leave their stable professions and launch Peixoto Coffee in 2015. Their vision wasn't simply to open another coffee shop—it was to rewrite the traditional coffee supply chain by connecting consumers directly with the people who grow the coffee.
