Harvest Festival and Coffee Tasting this weekend

It was a year ago this weekend that we moved the Brown & Jenkins Roasters from the warehouse in Burlington to this pastoral location in Cambridge, Vermont. This morning I'm watching a tractor over at the Boyden Winery driving past the Corn Maze in preparation for this Weekend's Harvest Festival.


In celebration of our 25th anniversary, and our 1st complete year in our Green Mountain location, we are again participating in the Harvest Festival this weekend. We will offer a coffee tasting of 12 gourmet coffees, sell local baked goods, produce from Valley Dream Farm, and give away free apples. Tell me this doesn't sound like the perfect way to welcome fall to Vermont!


Working with other local businesses to sponsor a community event like this is the lifeblood of our coffee roasting business. So stop by this weekend. Our roaster has created special autumn blends like Apple Crisp Coffee and Pumpkin Spice Coffee that are simply too delicious to describe. We've also got an Ethiopian Sidamo that is full-bodied, winy and fruity. Glen, our master roaster, says this coffee is dangerous, but delicious.


So come on out to the coffee tasting on the 19th and 20th. Make sure you say hello to Glen, Rich and myself. Take the kids to the Corn Maze, meet some great people, and just enjoy this beautiful transition to fall.


Coffee Fact:


Only oil tops coffee as the most traded commodity in the world. Thank goodness we can still sell a great cup of gourmet coffee for a dollar!


Until our next cup,

Sandy Riggen
