This month marks our 32 year anniversary at . I was in 8th grade when my parents had the idea of starting their own business. My father and mother were immigrants, hard workers, and lovers of good food. They had tossed around the idea of opening a café or restaurant for a while, and a wholesale coffee company seemed odd to me!

Fast forward 32 years and here we are – the whole family still working very hard to provide a product and service we believe in. We are unusual because the whole family is here, all of us having come back after earning college degrees and some of us working elsewhere for a while. I love the fact that many of us have been here since we were 18, young and single. We now have families and adult responsibilities.

will be hosting our annual company barbecue next week to celebrate this anniversary, to honor our employees, and to catch up with our growing families. I can’t wait!
