Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (7/26-7/29) This Weekend!

I'll be there this weekend selling coffee at the Fair Trade and Organic Pierce Brothers Coffee Roasters (formerly Java Hut) coffee stand. It will be a great time with great people and great music. Make sure you try out the most honest and pure Dark Roast coffee around, our very own Fogbuster! Organic and Fair Trade, roasted by hand in Greenfield, MA. One of the only companies you would ever find me endorsing, Sean and Darren Pierce are really two great down-to-earth guys, they are really trying to make the world a better place one bean at a time.
