We’re a very small coffee farm and roastery in Sandy Bay, St Helena Island. Here we post some of the latest news, and things happening around the farm and garden that we hope you find interesting.
New roaster
Our new coffee roaster is finished manufacturing and is about to start its (very long) journey here…!
Nature knows best!
It’s astonishing how nature knows best. Oranges, lemons, and medlems, ripens in our winter season, giving us the vitamin C to ward of the flus, colds, and winter blues…
“Come and taste a little bit of St Helena”
The good folk at Swimming Head Productions made a little video of Wranghams, featuring us both talking about living here and our little coffee farm. Take a look, it’s pretty neat.
Lemons!
It’s only a lemon – but it’s one of the first that we’ve managed to grow ourselves!

Some of today’s garden pickings
Growing our own food here on St Helena!
Coffee picking
Christmas on St Helena is coffee-picking time! 2021 was a pretty wet year, but that means it was a good year for some of our young coffee bushes. Today we picked several buckets of ripe coffee berries, which we’ll soak overnight tonight and de-skin (“pulp”) tomorrow.
Chick
Every year a few intrepid fairy terms (common white terns, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_tern) lay their eggs on branches of our eucalyptus trees at the back of the house. They have no nest – eggs just rest on an indentation in the branch – and the single chick has to cling on, literally for dear life. Should they…
Bread for brunch!
It’s brunch tomorrow, with bread made with fresh basil, feta, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes! And Wranghams coffee, of course! Yum!
Bagels!
It takes a bit of effort, but it’s worth it – home baked bagels served classic American style with smoked salmon, vegan cream cheese (made with cashews and tahini) and home grown salad for breakfast. All washed down with some delicious home grown and fresh roasted Wranghams St Helena coffee, the best in the world!
Duck eggs and hens eggs
We’ve hens and ducks – hens eggs are the brown ones on the left, and the duck eggs are the larger pale ones on the right. Eggs from our six Muscovy ducks are delicious – a little bit richer than hens eggs.
