    Ryan, It's great to know you made it to both locations. This month we just lunched our roasting. This might interfere with preparing for GLRBC for Steve, however Anna from the Normal store should be competing.

    Definitely. I forgot to pick up some beans when I was there though. And we left Macomb to late on Monday(besides the fact it was a holiday, so you prob were not open) to be able to swing back by and grab some beans from you. Until next time or when you can sell some beans online. ;) Hit me up some time I'll send you some of our stuff too. Cheers.
