Medium Roast LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: WORKING WITH FARMERS TO STRENGTHEN COMMITMENT The Tomorrow River flows just a few yards from Ruby’s Nelsonville headquarters and roastery. Though it maybe slight on a map, the Tomorrow River is the center of Nelsonville, carrying momentum across Central Wisconsin and through our town. The Tomorrow Seasonal Project is designed to work the same way. Though it may just be one small project, we hope it carries momentum for developing farmers across generations. One major hurdle for coffee farmers transitioning to specialty coffee farming is finding a buyer for their new coffee quality. A lot of these coffees end up purchased at lower prices destined to be included in a blend. The Tomorrow Seasonal Project is designed to target standout coffees from farmers in transition and feature them as single origin releases. When we realized most of these coffees came from certified organic farms, we decided to make the project a permanently certified organic offering. Rio Blanco Coffee Growers Association represents certified organic growers in the San Ignacio, Peru community of Namballe. These are smallholder farmers with an average of 1-2 hectares in production. These producers operate within the buffer zone of the Tabaconas Namballe National Sanctuary, The area encompassing three river basins and protects a unique Amazonian ecosystem called the páramo including two endangered species: the spectacled bear and the highland tapir. Farmers are focused on environmental stewardship and besides coffee, grow subsistence crops and a variety of shade trees. 12 oz / 340 g Orders placed by 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will roast and ship the next business day.
