red river coffee company Red River Coffee Company is looking to provide a taste of home in south Fargo.

Jessica and Jered Arneson have small-town hearts. The Fargo couple has built a family and a life around the values instilled in them by their elders. It is those values and that hard-working spirit that have allowed the Arneson's to flourish in the world of small business. Their part-coffee shop, part-boutique, Red River Coffee Company, is a testament to that. Specializing in espresso drinks and delicious homemade baked goods, breakfast items and ice cream, Red River Coffee also has products made by over 20 different local artists. The coffee sold at Red River Coffee pictures Arneson's grandparents on the label.

The centerpiece of the entire space is a wood table that once belonged to Arneson's grandparents. An antique coffee urn sits atop one of the bookcases, it has been in the Arneson family for over 100 years. This commitment to family heritage and tradition make Red River Coffee Company a very homey place for locals. It is that taste of home, through coffee, a donut, a sandwich or a homemade product, that makes Red River Coffee Company such a beloved locale in the community. Their mission and approach to running a small business are also worthy of being championed and showcased.
