Notes from the Farm:

Our farm is situated on family land that has been and continues to be a working dairy farm. We are lucky enough to use this original 1907 barn to store our tools and supplies and to peek at our barn owl friends. While it is no longer used for the dairy, it now serves as a time capsule of how the farm used to be, complete with antique tools. The large barn door had come off its hinges from curious and itchy cows rubbing up against it and with the help of a dear friend we were able to put it back on its hinges. We will continue to preserve this sweet old barn and share with you the treasures we find in it!

We will continue to donate 10% of coffee and tea sales to the Equitable Giving Circle, which from their website, "aims to build immediate and increased equity throughout Portland’s BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities through a combination of fund development and network building opportunities that center economic equity." We feel strongly about supporting our local community, farmers and access to fresh produce for all.
