I realize that Forge has not posted to this blog in quite a while… \u00a0I guess it’s time again!<\/p>\n
First of all… we are still here. We’ve just been very busy, and the blog tends to get the least amount of attention. \u00a0Thanks to everyone who has supported our local small business this far. \u00a0We have made small victories in our growth along the way, and hope to keep getting our coffee out there to new places it hasn’t been yet. \u00a0You can buy Forge Coffee in a couple of small local grocery stores now, we have a presence at two farmer’s markets throughout the week, and we participate in special events whenever we can. \u00a0We truly appreciate your repeat business and your encouraging compliments. Nothing makes us feel like we are making a difference more than one of our customers taking a drink of our coffee for the first time, pausing, then saying, “oh… that’s goooood.” \u00a0It makes us smile.<\/p>\n
This is the fuel that keeps us going at midnight on a friday when we have five more batches to roast, or when we have to wake up the next morning at 5:30am to load and travel to the farmer’s market. \u00a0Starting a business isn’t easy, and it’s even harder when you are bootstrapping it on limited funds and your own tenacity. \u00a0Every positive moment counts, and our customers… you… have been very generous. \u00a0Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
