Team
Our female-led team of SCA Professionally Certified Roasters, Brewers, and Baristas takes humble pride in every batch of coffee we make. Working in harmony with the farmers who nurture and grow the coffee we roast, brew, and sell, every bean that comes through our door is given the respect and attention it deserves. We craft each roast for those who feel just as at home in the backcountry as they do in the cafe. Through daily tastings, we ensure that every roast we present to the world is of the highest caliber we can deliver.
Snake River Roasting Co. nurtures a culture of curiosity, humility, inclusion, and gratitude to work in the wonderful world of coffee. Every day, we strive to be better: better roasters, better brewers, and better stewards of our environment and community, both at home here in Jackson, and around the world.
Since inception in 2007, founders Ruth Ann Petroff and Mark Barron sought out passionate individuals dedicated to continuing to hone their craft. In 2021, Ruth Ann and Mark promoted team leader and dedicated roaster, Cait Brooks, to General Manager and turned over ownership of Snake River Roasting Co. to Mekki Jaidi, who had been a long-standing top customer. Mekki also owns Outpost Group, a Jackson-based company that supports a portfolio of brands, including Outpost, Snake River Roasting Co., Provisions, Terrain, and O2 Cleaning.
