Meet the Badgers

The Badger House Coffee Company was conceptualized by Danielle Thompson in 2023. Originally envisioned as a traditional business model, Danielle made the decision to transition to a cooperative structure in 2024, with the goal of creating a community space in Parma, Ohio that continues to thrive and evolve even after her departure. The team underwent incubation with Cleveland Owns in late 2024. The Badger House team bonded over a mutual commitment to creating an inclusive, cozy space that centers worker’s rights and the solidarity economy.

Animal lover and hobby hopper Danielle Thompson (she/her) believes the power of change lies within community outreach and hopes to inspire organization through shared interests.
