Our Approach

Hi - we are Jarryd and Josie and we love coffee! We are also determined to contribute to a better coffee value chain: one that compensates coffee producers with a living wage for their labour and where roasters share risk with producers/producer group partners by committing to their product year after year. 

Since opening in 2020, we have been continually learning and finding ways to improve our work in our small corner of this global industry. To this end, we are constantly engaging with resources to learn more about the specialty coffee industry, connecting with importers and producer groups, and working  to understand the impacts that global crises of climate change and capitalism are having on coffee crops/harvests and farmer livelihoods now and into the future.  

We love to experiment and play with each new bean to find the ideal roast profile that brings out its subtle qualities, flavour, and natural sweetness. Coffee is our passion and we are delighted to share our roasts with you!

Our commitments:

• Keeping up with best practices for traceability and accountability in third wave coffee sourcing;
• Continually learning and thinking critically about social, spatial, and environmental justice in all dimensions of our work;
• Creating consistent coffee roasts in small batches;
• Ensuring a supply of fresh and delicious coffee for our customers in the Humber Valley and beyond.

From Valley to Valley

Mighty Valley Coffee began in the forests and farm towns of the Ottawa Valley, where we first started roasting for friends, small cafés, and local grocery stores. At the time, our focus was wholesale—supplying coffee to others, staying mostly behind the scenes. But over time, we felt the pull to be more connected to the people drinking the coffee—to serve it ourselves, talk about it, and create a space around it.

That vision came to life when we moved to Corner Brook, Newfoundland, and opened our own café. We brought the heart of what we loved—small-batch roasting, thoughtful sourcing, and intentional brewing—but made it personal. With a 2 kg electric drum roaster and a smaller footprint, we roast right in the café, staying close to the process and the people.

Here, coffee isn’t just something we sell—it’s something we share. Every cup is an invitation to slow down, to taste fully, and to connect—with the origin, with the barista, and with the place we now call home.
