01 Aug Pawling Coffee Roaster: A Caffeinated First Year
A year in review: Since May 25th, 2023, I have
- Roasted over 1,000 pounds of coffee.
- Hosted 12 coffee roasting demonstrations in various places. Some were libraries, others were farms. The biggest opportunity was hosting one at the Culinary Institute of America.
- Helped 11 people take their first step into roasting their own coffee. For some of them it’s really caught on, others enjoyed the experience and may pick it back up in the future.
Vision for the upcoming year:
- I have 3 farmers markets this summer: Arlington Thursdays 2:00pm-6:00pm, Patterson Fridays 3:00pm-7:00pm and the Pawling farmers market Saturdays 9:00am-1:00pm. At the farmers markets, I will be featuring a special nitro cold brew called “Red Bomb” which is made from a Colombian coffee straight from the farm. Be sure to grab a cup, a growler or a bag of the beans!
- This year I would also like to begin building up wholesale partners. This can be done through direct wholesale or you can do a private label coffee to build your own brand!
Conclusion:
I’m so excited to have made it this far and can’t wait to see how next year goes. Thank you all for your support though out the year. Whether through buying coffee from me, helping me advertise or opening up your venue to allow me to sell my coffee there, you all mean so much to me. You are the reason I’m in the coffee business. I’m not interested in just selling coffee and calling it a day, there has to be a connection with the people I’m serving.
Cheers to another year!
Cheers to another year!
