Our Founders

Exilior was born from a shared belief between Francis, who grew up in a small Kenyan village, and Maya, raised in the Pacific Northwest. Their different upbringings gave them a deep understanding of the power of community and the importance of lifting others. Together, they set out to create something more than a business—Exilior became a mission to connect worlds and empower lives.

From the start, Francis and Maya envisioned Exilior as a bridge between Kenya and Oregon, uniting farmers and customers through a common purpose. Their goal was to ensure that the hardworking farmers who grow Exilior’s coffee and macadamia nuts are fairly compensated while also preserving the land for future generations. This isn’t just about profit; it’s about people, sustainability, and shared progress.

At its core, Exilior is a story of connection. Every cup of coffee, every bite of a macadamia nut, carries the strength and resilience of the farmers behind it. Francis and Maya want you to feel that with every purchase, you’re not just enjoying a product—you’re contributing to a brighter, more sustainable future for communities on both sides of the world.

Exilior's Story

Our mission is simple yet profound: to offer premium products that create meaningful connections. From the highlands of Kenya to your home, every cup of coffee and each bite of macadamia nut reflects our commitment to quality, human dignity, and the well-being of our planet.

Kenya is renowned for producing some of the world’s finest coffee and macadamia nuts, yet the communities behind these exceptional products often face poverty due to an unjust supply chain. At Exilior, we’re changing that. Every bag we offer tells a deeper story—one of passion, heritage, and a vision for a brighter future. But it’s more than just a story: every purchase directly supports environmental sustainability, youth empowerment, education, and women empowerment.

Our commitment to transparency is more than just a principle—it’s a promise to you and the farmers. As a Certified B Corp and member of the SME Climate Hub, we are actively building a future that focuses on climate action and social impact. In every bag of coffee and every pack of macadamia nuts, you are not only enjoying premium products—you’re also contributing to meaningful change.
