We are happy to announce the arrival of 2 new coffees to the Roastery. The first is a naturally processed Nicaraguan from Finca Limocillo. This is a Pacamara so it has large light beans and at lighter roasts packs some strong fruit flavors. The second is a Costa Rican from Helsar. It is a Typica and is a multi award winner from 2 farms and is carefully processed at a micro mill. Watch for our full single origin listing to come out next week.

Message of hope
We at Fernwood Coffee Company believe in supporting concrete local initiatives. We like to think of ourselves as community leaders, doing what we can. Recently we helped out with an extreme home makeover of Casa Maria Emergency Housing Society.
This society has helped over two hundred families in crisis over the past eighteen years, without government funding. But after eighteen years and two hundred families the place needed a makeover.
Organized by a local non-profit, Hero Search, the event was recorded for a video due out in the coming months.
