Thanksgiving Week Schedule
We will be closed Nov 27
UPS and Spee Dee Delivery are not shipping Friday, we have decided that we will close on the 27th also. We will be roasting on Monday and Wednesday. Shipping Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
We are recommending that any roasted coffee wanted, should be ordered for Mondays roasting. We will roast and ship on Wed also, but keep in mind the long weekend, we don’t think UPS will be running any trucks between cities, so the coffee will be setting in a warehouse or truck all weekend.
CACVRA, or Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera Valle Rio Apurimac was established in 1969 as a means of uniting cocoa and coffee growers in the Apurimac River Valley. This picturesque river valley unites the two growing regions of Ayacucho and Cuzco. The town of San Francisco lies directly on the Apurimac River and spans a bridge connecting the two regions. San Francisco also is the home of CACVRA’s main offices, cocoa receiving warehouse, and coffee cupping facility.
Coffee for Christmas Program
Our Coffee Barn is starting a fund to ship coffee to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. For each $5 we will roast, grind and mail a pound of coffee to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. We are sending the coffee to Wisconsin and Minnesota National Guard units deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. The coffee will ship around the first week of December.
We now have Donate Buttons on the main pages of the site and a listing in almost every coffee category on both the retail and wholesale stores.

The response to this sale was fantastic! So good that we were sold out when I got up this morning! We kept the sale going thinking that I could buy more of the same coffee for about the same price. After I called to reserve more of it I found out the price had jumped by almost 15%. We then marked it out of stock. I just secured 3 more bags at a price I can still honor the sale prices listed in the email we sent. I have listed the quantities so we will hopefully not oversell again. If you would want more of this coffee contact us and we can try to get the current pricing for you. We can’t buy past crop coffees on futures, sorry.
This has been a learning and growth curve for us! We are now watching the C-Market and will be buying futures of about 10 or 12 of our best sellers. This will secure the price for about 3 months at a time for all of our blends and the single origins we use in the blends.

Farm: various
Varietal:Native Arabica

About this Coffee:
Only red, ripe cherries are picked for this lot, and careful drying procedures are used. The extra care provided by producers at origin gives this coffee a bright acidity and sweet, clean fruit flavors.
Coffee holds a special place in Ethiopian culture that transcends that of the coffees from other origin countries. The majority of the crop does not even leave the country and is drunk with great ceremony by the Ethiopian people. This is in contrast to other origins where coffee is a cash crop, with the best being exported, and the dregs kept locally and drunk unceremoniously with plenty of milk and sugar to choke it down.
One taste of an excellent Ethiopian coffee and you will understand this passion for the bean.
I found this farm or should I say they found me, during my Email announcement of our Hawaii Molokai Peaberry one of our customers replied back that they acually own a coffee farm in Hawaii! Samples were requested and my extended family enjoyed it very much during the 2008 Christmas season, so I placed an order with Kaipo at Makapueo Farms Estate. We are buying direct from the farm so they get the full profit they deserve for their hard work and you get to enjoy some 100% pure Hawaii Kona coffee!
Aloha from all of us at Makapueo Farms, where we take great pride in raising and processing only the finest coffee beans. We do this to be sure that every cup of coffee that you have is that of the finest quality possible.
We may be a bit biased, but we’ve tasted a lot of very good Hawaiian coffee. From our farms in Hawaii, coffee is more than just a hot morning beverage, it’s a life experience. Welcome to the “Finest Gourmet Coffee In The World.”
I turned 45 today and to celebrate, we are having a special on two of our blends on the Wholesale Store! Raging Bull Espresso Blend for the dark roast fans and Farmers Morning Blend for the lighter roast fans. Both can be used as either a drip brewed house special or as an espresso blend for the espresso based drinks or as straight espresso.
Here are the coffees listed in the Specials Section of the Wholesale Store. The prices are valid for the rest of August.
The Coffee of the Week does not count towards the free 1/2 pound.
Ethiopia Harrar
1 Pound Fresh Roasted Coffee Beans
Specifics:
Name:East Haraghe Highlands

Region:East Haraghe Highlands
Farm: Small Holders
Varietal: Traditional Ethiopian
Altitude: 2000-2700 meters
Processing Method: Sundried Naturals

About this Coffee:
The highlands of Harar are remote, so remote, that most of the coffee is carried by donkeys down to collectors below in the valley as trucks could not go to the farmers.The way of processing the coffee is an ancient method going back to the beginning of coffee consumption. Women crush the cherry in deep wooden pots by hand and the coffee is naturally sundried on the ground.The coffee trees are two hundred years old and some reach up to a height of 6 meters (20 feet). This is the alpha to the high tech mechanical omega of most of Brazil..
Here is the list of 23 different roasted coffees we have ready to ship and at a big discount from the fresh roasted price! Great coffee at a GREAT Price!
If you can’t wait until one of our roasting days (Monday and Thursday mornings) for fresh roasted coffee?
Want to save some money and still enjoy great coffee?
A little like the “Day Old” section in a Bakery. But not even close to the bargain bin of, beyond the “sell by date” in the grocery store.
We will take coffees off the Pre Roasted Coffee listings if they are still there after 30 days. Coffee is still considered fresh longer than this by many of the bigger roasters. Any coffee we take off the Pre Roasted Section because it is over 30 days since roasted will be donated to a local food shelf.
I have read that the “mermaid logo” (Starbucks) coffee company let’s ALL of their coffee “rest” and “de-gass” for 2 weeks before it is loaded onto the trucks for delivery to another regional warehouse, before it is trucked again to a retail store and ends up on a shelf for sale. How fresh can that be? Consider this when you purchase coffee from this section!
The prices will be unbeatable!
The free 1/2 pound with each 2 pounds purchased DOES NOT apply to this section!
If you check this section on a regular basis you should be able to find some incredible deals!
