I'm a small roaster, interested in joining or STARTING a green coffee buying cooperative, preferably based in the mid-Atlantic region somewhere. Anyone interested in discussing?

I'm mid-Atlantic, also late to this thread, and very interested in how to achieve direct farm purchases, acknowledging all the import and insurance issues.

I'm with Kaldi's in St. Louis. I know we would be interested in teaming up with a or some other roaster/s. We have done this a bit in the past and really want to be more direct. Great idea and thread! That's what this site should be about!!

Hi Chris. I'm a part-time micro roaster in Rockwall Co., but I work in Arlington. I just bought my first two full bags of coffee. Until now, I've been paying broken-bag prices. I'd love to have another source.

I'm interested in joining such a group. I'm just starting out but I think I could join on as a bronze level buyer, if you will.

We're a small roaster in West Virginia, and could really use a cooperative buying group. I'll send you a friend request thing, and then send my phone, email, etc. Thanks for throwing this out there.

Is there some consensus on a preferred method for cold tea prep? I would imagine the product is different with each method, but is there a majority and minority camp? Just curious.

Alun, are these the hills you will be tramping over next month? The hills you are inviting us to join you on? I'm getting short of breath thinking of the 38C temp and 98% humidity. [If I was 30 years younger...] I just noticed our neighbour over the…
