    yeah dude, definitely.
    coffee education is especially challenging here in the mountain south, being that most people see coffee as a utility. however, i'm fightin' the good fight.
    next time i'm in nashville, i'll look you up and see how y'all are doin' things. well, i'm sure.

    Heath, how goes it? Denise at Celtic Cup told me I should contact you. I'm doing this bike ride across the country to support the coffee kids charity. I was wondering if you'd mind if I stop by your coffee works to talk coffee with you for a while.

    Feb 19, 2009

  • Zechariah White

    Thanks for the support. I'd like it if you could join me, too. Everyone is welcome to participate on any level they wish- even just an afternoon's worth of riding along. I will take you up on all your offers.

    I still have to tell you all that is good and tasty. If you run into Sarah Dooley, ask her about it. She's in Atlanta and has some great things to share with the community. How are you doing?
