About Us

The lockdowns that were imposed on us in recent years took a financial and psychological toll on many. In our household, the impact landed hard on my son.

​

He could no longer attend in-person job training for adults with disabilities. He sat in front of computer screens watching Zoom classes which were both pointless and aggravating.

​

He used to work alongside his aide at local businesses which gave him the opportunity to feel productive and useful. That was no longer an option.

​

I had been working from home for thirteen years prior to Covid and was accustomed to solitude.  In April 2020, I abruptly gave notice, ending my 25 year career in software, to pursue a new purpose.

​

I started thinking about businesses I could start where I could include my son. The kid had a great work ethic, and he was eager.

​

The idea of coffee was one I had been formulating for years. I’ve been drinking a pot a day of the stuff ever since I was a kid in the Army, and like alcohol and lottery tickets, people consume coffee in even the worst of times.  

​

I consulted with my two partners in Malone who supported the idea and decided to help fund the venture. I recruited a buddy who has been in the coffee roasting business for the past several years. He also has a special needs son, and liked what I was proposing.

​

I really admired his seriousness and dedication to the craft. He's akin to Walter White of Breaking Bad fame. He loved roasting coffee, and we were exceptional salesmen. Win-win situation. Walter White meets Saul Goodman.

​

My son is now a master coffee pod sealer. We make deliveries, attend fairs and festivals, and take pride in the fact that we sell the best damn coffee in the region.
