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!!

ABOUT OUR BEANS……

Bobolink Farms Brazilian

This is one of our offerings that “has a story to tell”. If you read the history link below you will see what we mean. The Croce’s have done everything they can to grow an incredible coffee bean and yet protect the Bobolink and more.
Please watch the videos and enjoy and peruse the website. The Bobolink video is interesting, just to hear them sing. We are listed in the “Where to Buy” - roasted coffee section on their web. Now if only we can actually visit there as we were invited to do by, Felipe Croce. ;~)

Grown at one of the few Brazilian coffee farm co-ops that uses sustainable, organic growing methods. This coffee has a deep flavor full of nuts, chocolate, and caramel, with a subtle earthy quality, along with a hint of citrus.

This group of farms is located in Igarai, a lovely region in the state of Sao Paulo, where crops of bananas and vegetables grow alongside the coffee, surrounded by honeybees, flowers, and forest. These farms set an example for living and creating a truly sustainable model for life and for farming.
