(Riverton, WY)- This episode of Fremont Biz was recorded on-site inside the Brown Sugar Coffee Roastery while Amanda Henry was roasting beans. It was the perfect setting to talk coffee in a real, behind-the-scenes way…watching the process up close while learning what it takes to build a quality-driven coffee business right here in our community.
In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Henry, owner of Brown Sugar Coffee Roastery, to break down the coffee roasting process and her journey into the coffee world—how she got started, what it took to establish Brown Sugar, and why she’s so intentional about every step from sourcing to roasting.
Amanda also shares the heart behind their “Sip Clean Campaign,” a commitment to wellness-focused coffee that prioritizes a cleaner cup—no-toxin, mold-free, and low-acidity coffee. We talk about what that means in real life, why it matters to customers, and how Brown Sugar works to maintain those standards.
And if you didn’t know Brown Sugar expanded into more food options, this episode covers that too. Amanda explains their ghost kitchen concept, created to broaden their offerings, add flexibility, and even create more hours for staff. If you’re looking for an easy bite… burgers and fries!

Amanda talks about her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated industry and her efforts to support women-owned coffee farms a mission that aligns with the values behind Brown Sugar and the way they do business.
