    Small business success

    Hi Robin, We're a small coffee roasting company in Miami that is growing by leaps and bounds. My wife is Colombian, and I'm from New England. We met 18 years ago and she brought me to Colombia. On the trip I fell in love with her, coffee growing and roasting, and now we grow our own coffee in Colombia and roast in Miami. Small batch, artisan roasting. The coffee is awesome. I'll send some if you provide me a shipping address. We have become the number one selling coffee in Costco, in 13 stores in the Southeast region (we're on the shelf in Alpharetta BTW), and we have just been invited to do a show at Wal-Mart's shareholder's meeting at the end of this month. Big things on the horizon. It is very exciting! We also have an innovative social compliance program that is guaranteed to have a swift and positive profound effect on the lives of coffee growers, their families, and their communities. Check out the link to our Share Trade program: http://www.sharetradecoffee.org/ Here's a link to our site: http://www.cafedonpablo.com/ And an updated version about to be published: http://www.islandcolors.biz/labels/web/test.htm We have a ton of cool pictures and video I can send if you want. Thanks for taking a look. Darron J. Burke Burke Brands LLC
