Good Farmer Food Concepts raises $1.5 million for Maverick & Farmer Coffee and Square Burgers & Co.

Good Farmer Food Concepts, the company that founded artisanal coffee brand Maverick & Farmer Coffee and Square Burgers & Co., has raised $1.5 million in an ongoing pre-Series A funding round.

The round was led by investment firm CreedCap, with participation from Indian tennis star Rohan Bopanna and former Indian cricket team captain Rahul Dravid, along with Meraki Sport & Entertainment.

It will use the fresh funds to expand its national presence with its cafes, invest in R&D and production infrastructure, and bolster and grow the brand’s retail vertical.

The retail segment focuses on creating various SKUs of specialty coffee roasts and nurturing the home brewer experience by curating a variety of equipment. The brand’s new outlets in the pipeline are in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Goa, and Bangalore. It currently operates seven outlets in Bengaluru and Goa and expects to reach ten by the end of the year.

Founded by Ashish D’abreo, Sreeram Gangadharan, and Tej Thammaiah, Good Farmer Food Concepts operates across specialty coffee, cafés, and health-forward food concepts.

Its portfolio includes Maverick & Farmer Coffee, a pioneering farm-to-cup specialty coffee brand with cafés, retail products, and a growing B2B presence, and Square Burgers & Co., a modern, health-first fast food brand.

“Before expanding, we first ensured that our people and operations were completely in order. Once that foundation was set, we began exploring funding and new locations. From the outset, we knew that each Maverick & Farmer Café should tell its own story and connect with a unique community. With Square Burgers, our vision was clear—we wanted to experiment with health-forward fast food. The current round of funding has enabled us to bring these ideas to life,” said Sreeram Gangadharan, Co-founder, Good Farmer Food Concepts.

“I’ve watched Maverick & Farmer grow from the very beginning and what’s always stood out to me is the honesty and intent behind the brand. Their commitment to quality, experimentation and staying true to their roots is rare. I’m proud to continue supporting their journey and excited to be part of what's in store next.” said Rohan Bopanna.
