Coffee Fest Friends

This is a group for all of us who attend or exhibit at coffee fest. Many of us have met at the shows, look forward to each year and appreciate all the work that goes into what Coffee Fest offers.

Orgin Interview

Hey guys,

Two questions:

1. Has any of those attending the Fest in Chicago has ever taken an orgin trip?

2. And out of those who have, anyone willing to sit down during the fest and talk about it?

I'm attempting to do a research paper for school about the affect the american coffee consumer has on individual farms and farmers. With the main thought focusing on Americans paying a fair price for their coffee so as to have positive influance at orgin.

And I guess I can add a third question, anyone have any thoughts on where I can find other resources? I know I may be able to find a lot at the fest, but it doesn't hurt to throw the question out there.

Thanks!
Cherie
