Let’s Build A Coffee Washing Station!

We are beginning something that makes our family pretty close to giddy.  Giddy is really not my thing. I’m the Midwestern American stoic type… (with a strange leaning towards living room dance parties). But this…. This project makes me want to stand up on a couch somewhere and shout “Yes!” What is it?

longmilescoffee - Hi Danae. Deadline for the Money is March! But reality is that we are starting now. we are taking a leap and going to start and make things happen. Trusting that as we move forward others will jump on board!

longmilescoffee - Hi Tom. thanks for the comment. We know the God business is not up everyone’s ally. We have our motivation others have theirs but the best part is that this is about the individual farmers. Making an impact. Transforming lives and giving them hope through something as simple as building a coffee washing station. It’s a our bit we can do and we hope that people like you will come along. Hope that you can see our vision and realize that we are transparent and just putting it all out there to live a different way and find a way for these farmers.

Tom - A great project. I’m afraid all the God business is a bit offputting though

big - great content and great picture

Danae - Do you have a deadline for collecting money? Or will the deadline just be when you hit the goal?

Brew Guide: Amazingly easy cold brew coffee

 You might think that making cold brew coffee is a difficult and time consuming process. I did too, until we started making it and I realized it’s about as easy a peeling a banana. For real. In fact, it’s much easier than attempting to make a cappuccino in the morning AND your cold brew will…
