It is so encouraging, every day, to be asked about the progress. People other than ourselves are as excited by this as we are. But, it makes me realize that I need to keep you all updated better. Soo.......
In the last 3 1/2 months we have:
- roasted over 50lbs of coffee (maybe not much by you large roaster companies, but when you're talking 50lbs cup by cup in a popcorn popper....we're doing pretty good!)
- used 6 popcorn poppers
- replaced 2 popcorn poppers
- put in 2 lease offers
- interviewed 6 contractors
- cupped 6 different coffees
- been amazed at God's "minor purchasing miracles" for objects d'art for the coffee house
- relied heavily on our amazing Realtor
- pulled into a drive-in coffee kiosk to "check out the competition", and heard 3 little voices from the back seat yell out "I want a hazelnut latte." Aren't they too young for that?
- attended meetings with a CPA and attorney
- Set up a paypal account & shipped our coffee over 150 miles away. (If this would be helpful to you, email us at pat@plowsharecoffee.com and we'll get your coffee to you ASAP!)
There's more, but this is getting to be a long blog. There are still a lot of hoops to jump through, papers to sign and construction-y things to happen. For those of you that pray, keep us covered...life has been stressful, but good lately.
