In December 2022, North River Roasters Roastery was donated to Mid-Hudson Workshop for the Disabled, Inc. by the previous owners Feza and Diane Oktay. They had a dream to eventually pass their business on to a non-profit organization upon their retirement.

North River Roasters was established with people and the environment in mind. All our beans are certified as fair trade organic, and some of our beans are also certified as bird friendly.

What is our coffee with a cause program? Mid Hudson Works, established in 1948, has been providing workforce development opportunities to the physically and medically disabled for 75 years. Our coffee with a cause program provides Veterans and individuals with disabilities with work and entrepreneurial opportunities, all while providing our customers with deliciously roasted coffees and blends. We are excited to be working on the development of a Patriot Blend coffee blend that we hope to sell in retail markets to raise military awareness and to honor our Veterans. This program is currently being developed and the end-goal is to have a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this blend go towards supporting other local, or like-minded, Veteran organizations.
