Did you miss this week's Where's Winston? It was a little special...a family connection with Block Island Coffee.
This week he was at the Old Island Pub with my niece Paige who runs the pub with my brother Nat. Our father started the tradition back in the 1960s of doing a census of all people on Block Island on Groundhog Day 2/2. Locals would convene and do a grass roots count. The first count wasn’t in a bar setting, as there were no bars open in the winter. Nat and Paige continue the tradition at the Old Island Pub and this year there will be food and libations and a new Groundhog t-shirt. We are proud of this tradition started by my father, John Donnelly, Albion Slate, and others!
Keep up with Winston on our social accounts. We welcome new followers! Join us here:
Hope you all have a great week! Sending a Hug in a Mug!
With Gratitude,
Thank you for supporting my small business, I couldn't do this without you!

The leaves have pretty much passed their peak here, but Autumn still continues to showcase her beauty in other ways. My late season cherry tomatoes still bringing me joy and my garden is still green!!! After a recent rain, the October roses were lovelier than ever!
I love fall in Rhode Island!

Did You Know That Block Island Coffee is Rainforest Alliance Certified? What does that mean?
Rainforest Alliance standards help protect both the environment and the rights of coffee growers. The beans must be grown according to sustainable standards designed to prevent deforestation and protect wildlife, and farms must adhere to social and economic practices that support workers and nurture the community at large. We are proud to meet these standards and support these growers.

Happy Monday, friends! We can certainly tell that Fall is in full-swing as our most popular coffee varieties have been our cozy flavored coffees.Cinnamon Hazelnut, Decaf French Vanilla, and Decaf Hazelnut continue to warm our customers' cups!

Another weekend at the Farmers Market comes to a close on Block Market. It was breezy and crisp and we had a lot of people visiting. Our biggest sellers were our flavored varieties! Cinnamon Hazelnut was a hit as well as our decaffeinated French Vanilla and decaffeinated Hazelnut.
My son Dave was a great helper as you can see below. We enjoyed meeting everyone that stopped by.

This week I won't be at the Farmers Market, but you will still be able to get your Block Island Coffee at my niece Paige's table: "In A Pickle."
While we love to meet our customers in person at the Farmers Market, we know that for some, online shopping is what they like. You can order our coffees at our website and get them conveniently delivered straight to your door.
In fact, I've been very busy getting packages ready for shipment across the country...and the world!
Block Island Coffee is on its way to Germany and in the next few days will be winging its way across the pond to England. Maybe we can even be the beverage of choice at teatime!
Our customer Jaime is enjoying Block Island Coffee while vacationing in Center Harbor, Brooklin, Maine. In fact, he wants everyone to know that "My COVID staycation is all about relaxing with my favorite cup of joe.You can take Block Island Coffee anywhere, even in the remote waters of Maine!"
