Dear Loyal Customers,
As a family-owned small business, we want to share our perspective with you.
For too long, many corporate franchises and cost-cutting cafes have prioritized profit over ethics, often purchasing the cheapest beans available. This practice frequently supports business models that exploit farmers in other countries, offering them rock-bottom prices that jeopardize their livelihoods.
The result is devastating for farmers, who struggle to survive on these minimal earnings, sacrificing their well-being and quality of life. In an attempt to maintain profitability, these businesses often serve watered-down, bitter coffee made from poor-quality beans, leading to the infamous “burnt” taste many chains offer.
In support of honest capitalism, Farm Stores Cedarcrest is making a significant change. Starting today, we are partnering with a new family-owned business roasting in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This company stands out for several reasons: they provide 100% Arabica, single-origin bean, pesticide free coffee, which offers superior taste and freshness compared to mixed blends.
These beans are grown at high altitudes, enhancing their flavor profile. Most importantly, the beans are shipped directly from farm to consumer, eliminating the middleman and ensuring fair and ethical trade practices. This results in a far superior product.
By making this switch, we are committed to supporting ethical coffee sourcing, protecting farmers' rights, and delivering an exceptional coffee experience to our customers.
Please come by, check us out, and enjoy this premium product at a premium price!
