It’s been a while since we’ve talked about our coffee company here, even though it takes up most of our time these days. Our first Broad Porch Coffee cafe in Luray, VA recently celebrated three years (when we ended the podcast). Our newest cafe in Harrisonburg, VA is almost six months hold. Both are doing well and growing. Our wholesale roasting is probably the fastest part of our business as we get a reputation in the region for high quality roasting and service.
Sometimes we question why we started a brick and mortar business, but it is nice building relationships with people in real life. As we grow older, I’d even say it’s necessary for a good life. Certainly keeps us on our toes. We interact with town employees, the people who live here who hang out in our cafes, and the people who work for us. God bless America 🙂
Below is a snapshot of our eBay sales last week. These weekly sales continue to give us the freedom to pursue other things like own a coffee company (or at least de-risk the reality of running a coffee business).
