Good news if you've run out of coffee mid-week: you can now find Cellar Door Coffee at Food Fight! Vegan Grocery (4179 SE Division)! We're working on finding more outlets around town, so we'll let you know how those develop.

Beginning in October (after the Montavilla market ends for the year) we will also be offering home or office delivery via bike! Jeremy has a sweet new Xtracycle on his bike that he's dying to put to good use. If you're interested in signing up for delivery, drop us a note and we'll keep you posted on the details.

This past Sunday was our busiest yet at the Montavilla Farmers' Market, especially as Jeremy and I had to manage the booth without our lovely brother Aaron this time. We sold out of several varieties -- sorry if you missed out on the one you wanted! Now, of course, we have Food Fight! to help you out with that. We'll also definitely bring more of everything next Sunday . . .

Finally, just a reminder that we're more than happy to take any special requests, whether for half-pound bags, or coffee ground to a certain size. If you call (503-775-3503) or email us by the Saturday before the market we can be sure to bring your coffee and hold it for you at the stand. You could even come pick it up at the roastery if you let us know in advance.

Lots of folks who came by last Sunday said that they saw our write up in the Oregonian's FOODday last Tuesday. If you missed it, here it is!


The market just keeps getting better and better, more vendors, more happy folks with local fruits and veggies, and cups of french press coffee, of course. We've had a few people ask about half pounds of coffee, ground coffee, and coffee delivery to home or office. If you drop us a line by email or phone, we'll be happy to do what we can to get our coffee to you when and how you need it. We can even point you in the right direction if you're thinking about picking up a grinder or other brewing gear.

On the sustainability front, we're currently working with Transfair USA to gain Fair Trade Roaster certification. Watch for updates on that process and more Fair Trade certified coffees on the menu. We've been doing a lot of reading and talking with folks on this lately, and are floating the idea of a Fair Trade movie and discussion night. Let us know what you think.

Thanks for everyone's support! We'll see you on Sunday.

We had a great time at this week's market, and it turns out that we'll be making an appearance in the Oregonian's Food Day section next Tuesday as part of their Market Watch column! I guess something about using a cordless power drill and a grain mill to grind coffee catches people's attention.

This week we're working on developing a roast for our organic Chiapas. I'm very excited about this coffee as Mexico had a great harvest this year (check out the Oaxaca decaf we're offering as proof) and people have already been showing interest at the market about checking out this coffee. We'll let you know when it's available for sale on the site.

Don't forget to stop by and say "hi" at the Montavilla Farmers Market this Sunday from 10am-2pm!
