Our Story
Ron’s Beans began as a simple fund raising event
crafted to support the Make-A-Wish foundation.
A passion for roasting high-quality coffee from around the globe became a fun and meaningful way to support a charity close to our founder’s heart. What began as a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Michigan quickly gained popularity and grew beyond a hobby, evolving into a full business rooted in a deep commitment to serving the community.
Ron’s Beans is a local artisan coffee roaster supplying freshly roasted coffee to retailers, businesses, cafés, and breweries. Every batch is hand-roasted to order in small quantities to ensure maximum freshness, and each coffee is thoughtfully roasted to highlight its unique and ideal flavor profile.
We proudly offer as many Direct Trade and Fair Trade coffees as possible, ensuring consistent quality while honoring ethical sourcing practices and cultivating meaningful, lasting relationships with the farmers and their families whose dedication and care bring every bean to life.
At Ron’s Beans, coffee is more than a beverage — it is a bridge between communities. From the farmers who grow it, to the businesses who serve it, to the families who gather around it, we believe every cup has the power to create connection, strengthen relationships, and make a lasting impact.
Ron Martin, Founder/Owner
Ron has spent the majority of his career working with people, the last 15 years working in the credit union industry. During his time at the credit union, Ron has participated in multiple community events (MS Walk, Alzheimers Walk, Relay for Life) and also chaired the Consumers Sunburst Run during its 5 years.
His passion for helping people and giving back to the community has led him to what is now Ron's Beans. Ron has been roasting for 5 years and enjoys creating flavors his customers love.
When he's not roasting Ron spends his time with his family, camping, running, biking, swimming, or fishing.
