We're back at the popular Farmers@Firehouse market again this year.
The market is open 9am-1pm each Saturday through the weekend before Thanksgiving.
We're opening the season with a couple of beautiful coffees: Bolivia Buenavista Colonia Villa Rosario and Ethiopia Goma Duromina Coop, a lighter-bodied, crisper cup. Both coffees are organic (Bolivia is certified USDA Organic, Ethiopia is passive organic) and both are part Tom Owen's Farm Gate program, his version of direct trade, ensuring famers get paid premium prices for attaining specific quality goals.
Whole bean is sold in 8oz bags for $8.00 or brewed by the cup for $2.50.
We're going to miss a couple of dates early on due to travel on work projects and settling an estate in CT after a family death, but we made the opening and we'll be there this morning. Next two weeks probably not, then we should be OK for every week for awhile.
You'll know for sure if we'll be at the market on any given Saturday by following @aldocoffee on Twitter.
Rich,
It's Carl from Jake's don't forget the big grocers, GE and WF, they like some local.
We both know it is tough getting the best roast.
Going to do roast some Costa Rica Tarrazu when I get home.
Carl
