So much to say!
Hear ye Hear ye! Yes, it is time to think of things un-coffee like swimming, tennis, biking, and generally harassing the family. We will be shutting down from the 23 August to the 9th September so hard deadline for orders before we take off is Monday 19th August, 5:00 PM (we do appreciate you organized souls who figure out coffee requirements well before the cut-off). Our presence at the Millarville Farmer's Market will continue, however, so worry not should you miss the deadline.

BACKGROUND DETAILS
We have known Luis Alfonso and his wife Maria since 2011 but they have been on their finca for more than 14 years. They are dedicated farmers who participate in local, provincial, and national competitions where they were finalists in a cup of excellence three years ago and ending up in the top group.
The couple head the local school for finding financing and procuring supplies with great success.

Shaft on Draft is a unique take on the Black Russian and is being served at Park Distillery, a gastro-distillery in Banff, Alberta, who use coffee infused vodka and local honey. Some bars in the area proudly offer “Shaft on draft,” or pre-batched and drafted Shafts, to keep up with the demand. At High Rollers in Banff, Shaft on draft is ordered so often that it actually outsells beer. Park is using our coffee for the vodka infusion and while Blackbird Coldbrew brews it for them, they are pretty pleased with the results. This drink can be found at all National Restaurants including Brewster’s, Craft, and Trolley 5.
The Milllarville Racing and Agricultural Society welcomes shoppers for the Millarville Farmers Market from 9 AM to 2 PM on Saturdays the vendors tempt shoppers with yummy foodstuffs, unique crafts, plants, and coffee! Crickle Creek is situated under the Grandstand where we are full of ourselves with bad jokes (we slay us), coffee knowledge (I can ramble on with the best of them), with a side order of "I just want to make friends".
