I hope this finds you well! The new café and roastery space is finally open and I’m honored that Food Business Review Magazine named Greenwood Lake Roasters “Top Ten Organic Food Companies 2024.” Time out from the roastery is always a challenge.

Hello, Class of ’97! I never would’ve imagined 25 years ago that I’d currently be in the middle of converting an 80-year-old building into Greenwood Lake Roasters’ second location and celebrating five years in the coffee roasting business. A crazy but very fortunate ride given all the variables. It’s been way too long since I’ve…
