Ritchie Hill Cheese straws - Concord, NC
It all started with their grandmother, Lily Patterson Ritchie as she baked her first batch in the kitchen of the circa 1906 family home in Concord, NC, fondly known as “Ritchie Hill.” Their father, Lee Ritchie carried on the tradition, with family and friends requesting them every holiday - the only time of year he baked them.
When the recipe was handed to Heath years later, they proved just as popular in Concord. In fact, he couldn’t bake enough each year to satisfy demand. So, it was out of necessity that Ritchie Hill Bakery was born.

THRIVE FARMERS
MANIFESTO:
We are in the business of impact. It is the most important thing we strive to make. From the start of a customer’s morning to the end of a farmer’s day, this is how we are measured.
Our farmers aren’t suppliers — they’re people. And what they cultivate isn’t a commodity — it’s a livelihood. It’s not just a supply chain, it’s a chain of values that guides everything we do. Integrity leads to transparency. Transparency to prosperity. And prosperity to quality. It’s a purposefully crafted product and process where all of us — from farmer to customer — thrive.
This is our house coffee. The perfect medium roast. It is creamy and smooth with just a hint of acidity and flavor notes of chocolate and spice. Absolutely. Delicious.

Mello Coffee Roasters is a family-owned and operated small batch coffee roasting company located in Davidson, North Carolina. We solely roast specialty grade, single origin, direct or fair trade beans every week to ensure the highest quality and freshness that you can taste in every sip.
What began as a hobby in our backyard in 2013 with a hand-cranked Whirly Pop, has now developed into a deep family passion for amazing coffee that we roast on a one kilogram gas coffee roaster designed by Mill City Roasters in Minneapolis, MN. This roaster allows us to custom profile roasts, to bring out the best flavor notes from each origin. From our family to yours, we want to share our obsession with quality coffee so each and every day, you can look forward to that first cup.
Farmer's First Coffee
Why the name "Farmer's First Coffee?"
Because the coffee trade isn't fair to small-scale farmers. Most earn less than $2,000 per year. That's why we pay them a 50% bonus, directly—4 times higher than "fair" trade.
By waking up each morning with a cup of Farmers First Coffee, you’re giving hard-working farmers an income that will change their lives.
