Brewed and packaged coffees from Irving Farm, Millerton

Founded in Millerton, Irving Farm Coffee Company is a specialty roaster of premium coffee beans grown on estate farms around the world. All coffee is roasted in an early 19th century carriage house that has been converted into a modern roasting facility.

Estate grown coffee beans are shipped directly to Irving Farm where they are stored in a climate-controlled environment. Before roasting, each bean undergoes extensive study and cupping to determine its optimum roasting profile. Since every coffee is different, whether through climatic growing conditions or altitude of the growing environment, the roasting times and temperatures are also different. We then hand-blend and roast fresh daily in small batches to achieve maximum consistency and quality in every roast. This attention to detail in every aspect of our roasting process results in flavorful, delicious coffee in every cup.

Dairy products from Ronnybrook Farm Dairy, Ancramdale

The Ronnybrook Farm Dairy has its own herd and is also supplied by one local family farm. They are a dairy company that runs both a dairy farm and a creamery. Their cows are fed natural grass in summer and corn and hay silage in winter. They add nothing to their milk-- no hormones no antibiotics no additives of any kind. Nor do they take any thing away.
