Hey there, coffee lover!
Every fall, nearly a million North Carolinians pack into the NC State Fair, ready for eleven days of rides, games, food, and a whole lot of fun. From corn dogs to carnival rides, handmade crafts to monster trucks, the fair’s got it all—and this year’s slogan says it best: “There Is No Time Like Fair Time!”
The first fair kicked off way back in 1853. Just four days, around 4,000 folks, and a whole lot of excitement. Today, it’s bigger, bolder, and still dedicated to celebrating all the amazing things NC has to offer—especially agriculture. Farmers, artists, and exhibitors compete for more than $600,000 in prize money every year, showing off the state’s rich history and incredible talent.
So where do we come in? We’re proud to fuel the hardworking folks behind the scenes—like the tireless staff of the Department of Agriculture—with our local-roasted Dilworth Coffee. Whether you’re savoring some Hawaiian street corn, munching on fried watermelon, or indulging in a hot honey jalapeño popper donut with bacon, there’s nothing like a cup of coffee to keep the energy flowing.
So, here’s to NC, to the fair, and to all the coffee lovers keeping it moving. From our roaster to your cup, we’re proud to be part of this tradition—and maybe even inspire your next home-brewed fair-day coffee.

Save some funnel cake for me,
