The First Post

We're blogging. Not really sure what to 'blog' about. Maybe its to share what is happening on the farm. Maybe what makes good coffee. Maybe about the sweat that goes into starting up a responsible coffee empire. We'll see and hopefully you'll guide us in the right direction.

The last couple weeks at Nossa Familia have been crazy. I guess when the momentum gathers you just have to hop on board. Holiday sales have been great! People are buying coffee subscriptions, espresso machines, espresso pods (greatest invention ever), and trying our new Family Roast. Combine all of that with trying to squeeze in as many special events as possible and we're ready for Christmas.

Last week was our entrance into the world of retail. Global Exchange on Hawthorne just began carrying our coffee and we poured some samples and showed pictures of the farm on Saturday. Very exciting for us. This week has us starting to map out the next 6 months and hammer out our schedule for January.

Let us know what you think of the coffee, the business, this blog and anything else that comes to mind. Enjoy and happy holidays (well, Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and have a great Kwanza).
