As I was typing away and enjoying the aptly named cup of Blog Grog coffee, something occurred that happens all the time here at Brown and Jenkins coffee roasters. Some one came in to ask if we had any burlap coffee bags that she could have. Glenn was able to come up with one.
Burlap coffee bags, you know- those big brown ones that the coffee beans are delivered in, are in high demand around here. I think you will be amazed at some of the unique ways folks use these. In fact, I've got 4 hanging in my coffee colored and themed bathroom at home. But I'm not the only one using those rugged looking coffee bean containers. Here are some of the innovative and interesting uses our customers have for these bags.
Vermonters use burlap coffee bags to:
- Rub down horses and remove hair
- Keep weeds down in garden
- Store duck decoys for duck hunters
- To train hunting dogs (hunters put bait in bags and drag behind to teach dogs to pick up a scent)
- Provide bedding for livestock
- Decorate college dorms
- Act as curtains in a deer camp
Isn't that fun? Talk about reusing your resources in innovative ways! This in one of the things I just love about Vermonters. We can find a use for just about anything.
Be sure to try out the autumn inspired Apple Crisp coffee in your online coffee club order this week. Happy October!
Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
