Who wants some fresh Honduran coffee? ☕

We brought back 180 pounds of coffee during the spring trip! They have been roasted and are ready for purchase. We have different varieties of coffee, both ground and whole bean. If you are in the Rochester area and are interested in purchasing some freshly roasted coffee, let us know!

All money from the sale of the coffee goes to our farmers in Rancho Quimado. They get the most money for their hard work, we get delicious coffee. It's a win-win!
