Coffee

There's a new movie playing in select theaters called Black Gold. It's a documentary about the unfair trade of the coffee industry. It won "Official Selection" of the 2006 Sundance film festival. Check it out:

I'm guilty of not thinking about where my coffee comes from, but I'm hoping to educate myself and make informed decisions about where I spend my money...

we have a local coffee roaster here in town - he buys from small family owned and fair trade growers... most of his stuff is organic to boot! you can order online - and he ships quickly! it's nice to see him at the post office with his bike carrier loaded with coffee to ship - the whole place smells like a coffee house! i can vouche for the coffee as well! we brew it at work and it is ALL we drink at home and in town!!! GOOD STRONG COFFEE... http://www.oldbisbeeroasters.com/
