Coffee and peace, coffee and love, sometimes other’s views get in the way of my coffee sales efforts. I started my company as a way of sharing radical Gospel-based social discourse. Some of my views are pretty skewed according to others. I get this from the interjections of others into my little world. Some reading this know my world shrank after 02/11/2018. It shrank even more when her family pushed me away. I think my belief in shared values is no longer as valued as in the past. My prayer life is about the same , however, my involvement in church life has changed.
Real coffee at the Farmers Market
I am at the Farmers Market many times . I make the attempt to sell coffee on a regular basis to a regular customer . Mother’s Day weekend was difficult!
But I am grateful. Have a great day.
On the Coffee Trail
Traveling West on the Santa Fe Trail headed for home. Boston for a day at the Coffee Expo, Flowers for Sally at one of our favorite beaches, then to Northern Maine train time. Now on the way home to New Mexico. Watching the prairies go by.
Coffee Expo 2022
Masked for travel , on the train, after networking my way east on Amtrak, I attended the Specialty Coffee Association ‘s Annual Coffee Expo. For Friday only… April 8 was a good day. I was weary from traveling, and really not ready for crowds.
Working for a living.
Working in free enterprise requires 24/7 readiness, whether or not a ‘ dollar profit’ is made. My profit is in the human contacts I make. It reads a bit like Arthur Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman”. I feel like Willie Loman… Anyway, hope keeps springing forth.
Readying for Southwest Chocolate and Coffee Festival
Roasting a batch of Orangutan Sumatra. It is not from Orangutan scat. It is a traditionally processed Coffee Arabica. The name comes from the efforts to preserve the Orangutan and Sumatra Leopards that allowed humans to farm their lands. This Sumatra is raised at 1600-2000 meters above sea level. The Island of Sumatra has competing agricultural interests with palm oil being predominate. The palm oil industry is fairly ruthlessly mono cropping where they can wiping out rain forest ecology when they ” develop” an area. The bean is roasted past first crack and is full-bodied even at this roast level.
