Delicious coffee is being brewed for Coffee Hour!. That's because we've switched to free trade organic.

Free trade certification guarantees a living wage, safe working conditions, and a ban on child and forced labor. It costs us a bit more per cup, but we figured a parish that gathers every week around a table of grace probably ought to extend that table to the people who grew the beans. Besides, it really does taste good.
