Building out our Mobile Coffee Bar!

Good Earth Roasters is going in a new direction! We’ve decided to branch out and begin a mobile coffee business serving delicious beverages with our own coffee. Don’t worry, our fresh roasted beans will still be available for sale from our roastery, from local business, and from the coffee bar itself.

More undercover and skinning work

Well, here we are, still working on undoing a lot of crappy work. Do I regret purchasing this particular trailer. You bet. Am I going to make the same mistake next time? Absolutely not. I’ve learned so much in this process; I just wish the tuition wasn’t so high! Remember
