Coffee Roasting with The Folk Roaster

We are pleased to welcome a new, young, business owner as a workshop presenter at Homegrown Parkes on Saturday, 11 October 2025.

Leihn Mansley has been operating his business from Parkes since 2023. He began with one goal, to create truly exceptional coffee at home.

Leihn invested in a roaster, sourced the finest beans, and spent ten months fine-tuning every variable to unlock the perfect brew.

The result was a first release — Saturday Light Roast — a clean, balanced, single-origin Australian coffee designed to celebrate clarity, flavour, and craft.

Since then, Leihn has continued to roast with one purpose in mind: to elevate the home coffee experience and give every home barista the tools to become a coffee artisan.

Learn about different types of coffee beans, roasting, blending and much more.
