What’s happening?

I am still looking for the right shopping cart system, and hope to have it set up in the next couple of weeks. Sorry for the delay, but with my full-time job, the transition is taking longer!  I am also submitting my application to become a Fair Trade Certified Importer!  Although I currently provide FTC coffee, I am wanting  a more ‘hand’s on’ experience with my biz.  I am looking forward to completing this….getting through the red tape, as it were, and will post progress on the site.  Other things in the works are, securing a supplier that makes a great travel mug, a local basket maker for gifts, and I have a line on a new mocha syrup that uses no sugar, yet is 100% natural and low in calories!  So, things are happening around here as  we approach spring!  Check back soon!
