 PROFILE
Reaping its profits from the java bean, Farmer Bros. roasts and packages coffee, and sells it to restaurants, hotels, fast-food outlets, convenience stores, and hospitals. About 45% of the company's sales come from distributing allied products (filters, creamers, teas, spices, and soup bases) to those same customers. In all, Farmer Bros. distributes more than 300 products from about 100 branches located in major cities in 29 western US states. Chairman and CEO Roy F. Farmer's father founded Farmer Bros. in 1912. Farmer owns 43% of the company. His sister, Catherine Crowe, a director who had to launch a proxy battle to gain her seat on the board, owns about 11%.
