It has been a year, folks!
A whole year of Roastery Newsletters. A whole year of exciting collaborations. A whole year of sustainable progress, great coffee and special drinks, impactful community events, animal rescues, generous charity–things to be proud of and to be grateful for. Proud moments and accomplishments to keep us going, and some goals yet left on the table to get us excited for another great year to come.
