We are Sacred Grounds Coffee Roasters of Sherman, CT — nestled among the Candlewood Valley hills, at the northern-most part of Fairfield County! We are a local business who strongly supports other local businesses and we are committed to sustainability. We roast only Organic and Fair Trade coffee with a deep focus on quality, freshness and responsible sourcing.

 

We select premium green, specialty grade coffee beans and roast them in micro-batches using our two 12kg infrared roasters to ensure consistency and peak flavor. After roasting, our beans are carefully packaged to preserve freshness. For best results, we always recommend grinding beans just before brewing.

 

Why Sacred Grounds?

 

Our name reflects what matters most to us!

 

Freshness is critical. Coffee begins to lose flavor within minutes of grinding, which is why we sell freshly roasted whole beans in our retail partner locations rather than packaged ground coffee. Grinding just before brewing delivers a noticeably better cup. Of course, we can always grind coffee for you when visiting our store or ordering online! No pressure!

 

We also believe in doing business responsibly. We source only Organic and Fair Trade beans, supporting sustainable farming practices and fair compensation for coffee farmers and workers. From sourcing — to roasting — to packaging — we work very hard to minimize our environmental impact.

 

Our mission extends beyond great coffee. We strive to keep Organic and Fair Trade coffee accessible through fair pricing, support local charities and causes whenever possible and use Earth-friendly packaging for all retail products — because caring for our community and environment matters! In the words of St. John Paul II, ”we cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations." 

 

Most importantly, Sacred Grounds honors God, our Creator — we would be nowhere without Him. We are closed on Sundays to focus on Him and our families.
