About Us

Rimfire Roasters is a family-owned nano-roastery nestled in Swedesboro, NJ. Founded by SCA-educated coffee roaster Scott Leary and his wife, Shelly. Rimfire is a labor of love that brings together a passion for quality coffee and a commitment to community. With the support of their two teenagers, Braydon and Corrine, the Leary family takes pride in roasting small batches that deliver on freshness, flavor and genuine connection.

Our shop draws inspiration from the life of Eli "Rimfire" Hamrick, a respected woodsman and skilled craftsman from Bergoo, WV. He is a distant relative of our head roaster and owner, J. Scott Leary. Renowned for his diverse talents, ranging from guiding lumber barons on hunting expeditions, operating a watch repair and gunsmith shop, to serving as Webster County's game and fish warden, Rimfire embodied the spirit of dedication and versatility. Our name honors his unique approach to tasks, famously using a rimfire rifle to prepare chickens for the Webster Springs Hotel. Just like Rimfire, our coffee roasting business embodies resilience, diversity, and a commitment to the craft, delivering unique and high-quality coffee. Rimfire Roasters cares about every order, every batch we roast and the quality of coffee we send to every customer.
