Good Morning Coffee Lovers,
Some of you are reading this blog from another state or even country. Others of you are local Vermont residents who know Brown and Jenkins from driving by Route 15 or maybe from having our coffee in other venues. One of the great things about Vermont is that there are so many small entrepreneurs here. One of my favorite things is to meet other business owners and to help out our local economy. To that end, I want to let both locals and visitors know about two local businesses that we partner with on a regular basis.
Three Mountain Lodge is a renowned restaurant over on Smuggler's Notch Road in Jeffersonville. They offer live music, Sunday brunch, a wine bar and dinner in its Log Cabin Restaurant. In addition to entrees like Black Angus beef, Salmon Boucher and Rack of Lamb, they serve Brown and Jenkins coffee. In fact, they grind and brew our coffee fresh for each individual customer with a grinder right in the dining room. Locals and tourists should make it a point to stop by.
The Hearth and Candle Restaurant in the Smuggler's Notch Resort (open year round for skiing, swimming and other activities) is another local business that carries our coffee. In fact, many of the tourists I meet come because they are staying at Smugg's and have tasted the coffee at this restaurant. (This is how many members of our coffee club members originally discover Brown and Jenkins.) This is a privately owned business with a focus on using local food and produce. They have a catering menu, cooking classes, and a menu worth traveling to try.
Vermont, and our little corner here the Green Mountains, is a place unlike any other that I have ever seen. There are a ton of family run businesses, specialty businesses and family run farms hidden around every corner. So even if you've never been here and simply order your coffee online through the coffee club, I wanted to just share a taste of what the Green Mountain State has to offer.
Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen

We ate at Hearth and Candle in July, and were impressed. The menu items were innovative and the dishes that we tried were very tasty. A huge improvement over the last time we ate there, about 10 years ago. Having Brown and Jenkins coffee there is the perfect complement to one of their meals. Wish they would serve this coffee at the Country Store at Smuggler's Notch.
