Our Story

Calgary Heritage Roasting Company is built by the wilderness that drives it. We meticulously marry fresh and fragrant coffee with the urge to explore. The company found its inspiration over a percolated cup of coffee on a backpacking trip one morning in the rolling hills of Alberta, Canada. Our methods and mentality were forged from our experiences as wildland firefighters. Since then, the company's foundation continues to grow and evolve during backyard BBQs, weekend mountain adventures, and late nights under star-filled skies and scotch-filled glasses.

Like our beans, the love grew naturally. Through experimentation and plenty of time, we learned more about the art of coffee roasting.  We finally realized we had something special. It's the home-grown, outback, rugged, mountain-fresh, clear skies sort of thing that Alberta is all about. 

It's here our story truly begins. Calgary Heritage Roasting Company believes in active collaboration, giving back to the community, and getting back to nature. It’s about time your coffee tasted as wild as you are.

Stay Wild.

Jamie has called Calgary home for more than 25 years. He received his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary, lending his skills to be a perfect fit for his role as a wildfire rappel firefighter. Outside of firefighting, Jamie is an avid outdoorsman. A few trips to Alberta's backyard helped unearth his genuine love for roasting and brewing coffee.

Vice President

A native to Calgary, Mike often roots himself in the outdoors. He earned his degree in Ecotourism and Outdoor Leadership from Mount Royal University, and spent this summer fighting wildfires in Alberta's captivating terrain.
