Our Story

     Hello! We are the faces behind Red Dirt Roasters.  Jared is the Roast Master and the one with big dreams for our coffee roastery. He is a planner, organizer, and detail oriented. Heidi works behind the scenes doing most of the website and media content. She is spontaneous and a figure-it-out-as-it-happens gal, and together we make a great team. We live in Midwest Missouri with our 3 boys and our dog, Ruger. 

     We have always enjoyed a good cup of coffee, especially shared with good friends and conversation. 

     Jared's initial entrance into roasting coffee started out as a bit of a science experiment with an iron skillet on our kitchen stove. He soon bought a small home roaster, and spent many hours learning and researching the techniques and intricacies that are involved in roasting a great, smooth cup of coffee. Hobby turned to passion, and  we decided this was a rewarding business venture we wanted to do as a family. 

     The name Red Dirt Roasters is a nod to the down-to-earth country living that we love, where life is slower paced, the roads are quiet, and neighbors have time to chat. Whether you find yourself in the country or the city, we are all blessed to live in this country of freedom and opportunity. 

     Thank you for supporting our small business.
