Who we are...... by Kandi

It was my desire to have a coffee roasting business in Ligonier Valley for many years. I discovered a transportable roaster and knew that “now was the time”. My partner, Dave was crazy enough to agree to the idea and “so it began”. Our business was established in June, 2010

We ordered the roaster, made with all U.S.A. parts, from a small company out west, traveling nine days round trip to pick it up. It was quite the adventure--- as I’m sure the business will be too.

Our intention is to offer quality coffee that is fresh roasted. This makes all the difference in taste, as our increasing number of coffee “fans” can attest to. To maintain peak freshness, the beans are roasted after they are ordered.

Since our first event, Back to the Garden Market, “just down the road” from us, we’ve brewed and sold coffee at many festivals and markets. Along with purchasing direct from us….our coffee is sold at various other businesses from Rector to Pittsburgh with more in the works. A list is posted. Other businesses have expressed interest and we are receiving a lot of phone and e-mail orders. The positive response is very encouraging.

We hope that once you try our coffee you’ll taste the difference too and become a valued customer and friend as well!!

Big accomplishment!

My Mother called in the am to ask if we had any more coffee. They were out.

The accomplishment? My Mom, Dad and Grandmother are Maxwell House users with Dunkin Donuts as the splurge. Apparently they ran out, brewed the Dunkin' Donuts and did not like it anymore. My 93 year old grandmother wrinkled her nose and asked Mom where the coffee came from. Now that's a testimonial for me. Mom says "there isn't any bitter after taste" with our coffee. She's starting to sound like a cupping expert.
