Hey, we're very much looking forward to seeing y'all at Jasper Farmers Market from 7:30 until noon! We will have Porch Life, S'mores Life, and All Day in the Holler on tap - and, of course, we'll have some delicious Peruvian Decaf.

It's supposed to be a beautiful day -- not too hot, but we'll still have iced coffee.

We have a full stock of coffee bags on hand including "The Kitchen Sink". Which turned out to be an extremely flavorful blend, that brings the African bean fruitiness and the dark chocolate bitterness of Black Bear Ex-presso. We only have 3 bags of it, so stop on by and get one.

And, you've probably wondered -- what's up with the "Fun Coffee Facts"? Well, I have more for next week, but for this week -- come on by and talk about one of the facts shared this week and get 5% off your entire purchase! Also, if you have a new fact, I'm excited to hear it!

See you tomorrow!

Here's one that surprises people: unroasted (green) coffee doesn't smell like coffee at all. It typically smells grassy, almost like hay. We have some that smell like grass and berries and some with a peanut smell.

It's the roasting that transforms it into that rich, cozy smell we all know and love. That's the magic we're chasing every time we roast a fresh batch — turning grassy little seeds into the good stuff you know and trust from Ellijay Trading.

Head on over to our scratch-n-sniff page on our website to see what we are talking about ... https://ellijaytrading.com.

Okay - just kidding, no scratch-n-sniff, but I'm sure you can use your imagination.

Using coffee and coffee houses to gain knowledge is not new ... back in 17th-century England, coffee houses were nicknamed "penny universities."

For the price of a cup, you could sit for hours, soak up conversation, and walk out smarter than you walked in.

Honestly? Not much has changed, with exception of no wigs and the internet. Today, you grab a cup, pull up a chair, and solve the world's problems together.

Or, you can just enjoy a cup of All Day in the Holler while knocking out today's word puzzle.

Plot twist: coffee "beans" aren't actually beans.

They're the pit of a coffee cherry — a real, honest-to-goodness fruit, stone fruit actually. There are typically two seeds found inside the cherry, but 15-17% of the time there is just one round seed -- called a peaberry.

So technically, every bag of Ellijay Trading coffee started life as fruit seeds we roasted to perfection. Small batch, straight from the cherry to your cup.

Did you know your morning cup might exist because of some very caffeinated goats?

Legend says coffee was discovered in Ethiopia when a goat herder named Kaldi noticed his goats getting WAY too energetic after munching on berries from a certain bush. He tried some himself, and... well, here we are, several centuries later, still chasing that same buzz.

Next time you're sipping your Ellijay Trading coffee, just know you've got some ancient dancing goats to thank.

BTW - want to visit Macy, the GOAT, go on by Cress Creeks Farm and Event Center, she's waiting for you! Pick up some amazing meats, farm store classics, and some fresh roasted coffee!

Why pick locally roasted? Honestly, it's not just about the coffee for us — it's about all of you -- our customers, the farmer's market regular, the amazing vendors, and our small business partners.

The support we've gotten from Ellijay, Jasper, and communities all across North Georgia has been simply amazing. Every market, every event, every conversation over a cup of coffee has meant so much to us. We've made some genuinely great friends along the way, and that's the part of this journey we're most grateful for.

We're already looking forward to the fall and holiday market season, and we can't wait to keep sharing our coffee roasting journey with you — small batches, fresh roasts, a few mistakes, a lot of coffee, petting dogs, and a whole lot of smiling.

You can find us at:
📍 Cress Creeks Farm and Event Center
📍 Riggin Farm Store (Talking Rock)
📍 The Oink & Moo Butcher Shop
📍 Ellijay Mushrooms Farm (featuring our Lion's Mane collaboration! they have both S'mores Life and Peruvian Decaf with Lion's Mane -- delicious)

Thank you for supporting local. We wouldn't be here without you.

We hope to see you on Saturday from 7:30 to Noon at Jasper Farmers Market.
