I discovered the Fair Trade Coffee while riding RAGBRAI. It was very inspiring to get up pack up and head out on the days route hunting for the Fair Trade coffee stop which was usually between 4 and 9 miles out. They called it the RAGBRAI blend. It was a coffee that I could enjoy black while watching the other riders going by not knowing what they were missing.
It was the best stop of the day. I was disappointed when they stopped coming to RAGBRAI.
Watching the episode now. I am a coffeholic and love supporting “local”. I can’t buy in- store here in Columbus. I bet you can/could find an audience here. There are a number of local coffee cafes. There is a local coffee café who sells their roasts at The Fresh Market. Maybe you can get a display in there too. (hint hint)
