A Tale of Two Coffees: A My Town Monday Post

Peace CoffeeA while back, my blogging buddy,  Amy Rea, blogged about the Twin Cities’ Peace Coffee. Somehow we started talking about good locally roasted coffees, and Peace Coffee reminded me about Canton, Ohio’s Hippie Coffee Company.

One of us proposed a trade, and so, the Great Peaceful Coffee Adventure began. Amy sent me Peace Coffee and I sent her Hippie Coffee.  I’ve always liked Hippie Coffee, so I was delighted to share it with Amy.   We continued the trade, and the second time we traded, I sent Amy a mug, and she included a pair of Peace Coffee Socks.

This trade introduced me to another wonderful coffee, and was a reminder thatHippie Coffee other towns have great local products.  When you buy locally, you not only help sustain that merchant’s growth, you support his or her suppliers and the folks whose businesses provide adjunct services, so you truly strengthen your local economy.

Check out local products in your community.  Tell others about them—trade with your cyber-buddies.   You’ll have fun and will have the opportunity to discover new things.

What are your favorite local products?  Feel free to post a comment, or leave a stone (o), to let me know you’ve stopped by.

Wander on over to My Town Monday and see what my fellow MTM Marauders have to say.

Lots going on for me and my family right now; although I’m not writing posts or posting comments very often, I’m still here, and I’m still reading.   Stay tuned. I hope to be back more regularly when the dust settles for us.
