Coffee for sale at Saturday's pick-up

Recently we met a coffee roaster in Baltimore who works directly with a couple of farmers in Ethiopia and Costa Rica.  They sell organic, fair-trade, shade-grown coffee, and we were impressed with the smooth flavor.  We thought you might appreciate being able to buy some good coffee beans when you pick up your produce, so we've ordered just a few bags for this weekend.  If you like the idea, we can continue offering coffee in the future.  Each 12-ounce bag is $10.00.  They will roast it on Thursday, and you'll get it on Saturday, so it's extremely fresh! 
    We're keeping a small margin to make it worth our trouble, but really we're selling this for your benefit, so do give us feedback to let us know if you like the taste, and appreciate the option to buy it here.  If you like these first few bags, we'll buy more to offer at all the pick-up sites in the future.  We would also be able to re-fill your bags with a full pound for the same price of $10. 
    The name of the roaster is Farm Direct Roaster, and you can find out more information about the coffee farms from their respective websites: www.kaffaforestestate.com and www.greenearthcoffee.net.

Are shares still available for the 2007 season?

I was wondering if farm shares are still available for this season?

Hi There,

Thanks for the recipes. Is there a share today, May 22? I know there was one last week so I am assuming that there is -- but thought I should check. Thanks!
