First off I have no idea how to correctly pronounce the variety of this coffee. In my head it sounds pretty. Correct? Probably not! Noble Coyote Coffee Roasters are based out of Dallas, Texas. Their name has interesting roots. A coyote is a middleman who buys coffee from farmers. Noble Coyote wanted to be ethical […]
I visited the 2018 Clinton County Fair last night. I don’t spend as much time at the fair as I’d like to with my work schedule, but I always try to visit at least one day. Monday was probably a little early to go, but I still got to pet some cute animals and eat […]
For January I am reviewing Speckled Axe Early Riser out of Portland, Maine. Speckled Axe wood roasts their beans which is an interesting twist. You can read more about it on their website. There was no branding on the bag other than the icon they use for the variety on their website and “Early Riser” […]

However, this month I’m reviewing a really good coffee. If you listened to the limited episode podcast “Containers” you will have heard of Ritual Coffee. I mentioned […]
Sometimes living with animals you have to make hard choices. In the past month our flock of laying hens had become very dissatisfied with each other and life in general. They bickered, they were loud, they fought over the same two nesting boxes (out of 15!), many were missing feathers due to picking, and two of our hens […]
If you have rich, black dirt on your property you’re a lucky person. We’re not so lucky in the main place that we plant. A lot of our property has soil with a high clay content and is filled with rocks–big and small. Today’s blog post is going to show you how to make a […]
I love it when my mailbox smells amazing. Sometimes when I open it I know there’s a package of coffee in there. That was the case with the coffee I’ll be reviewing this month, The Heavy by Barefoot Coffee Roasters. Barefoot Coffee Roasters is out of Santa Clara, California. They have two websites, but the main […]
