Fairfield International Food Fest August 30, 2025 at Fairfield Theatre Company
(BRIDGEPORT, CT) – Something bold is brewing at Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo. In a new partnership with Sound Coffee, the Zoo is proud to introduce Beardsley Blend, encouraging guests to stay wild and stay grounded. This small-batch coffee debuted earlier this summer at the Zoo’s highly anticipated Wild Wine, Beer & Food Safari and is now pouring in the Peacock Café and available for purchase in the gift shop. Blended locally and roasted with purpose, Beardsley Blend isn’t just a great cup of coffee, it’s a commitment to conservation. A portion of every bag sold supports the Zoo’s mission to educate, engage, and inspire conservation action. “This collaboration brings together two local organizations passionate about community, sustainability, and great flavor,” said Jeff Roy, Founder of Sound Coffee. “Beardsley Blend is more than a coffee, it’s a way to bring people together around something meaningful.” Taste the flavor of Sound Coffee and plan your next visit to the zoo, click here for tickets https://www.beardsleyzoo.org/ .
