RAS Farms has been buying organic potato seeds from White Mountain Farm since 1998. Funny to hear them talked about like a "new" thing.

R.A.S. Farms x Conscious Coffees Farmer's Select Batch #3- the Trinity

R.A.S. Farms is happy to announce the latest offering in the Farmer's Select series of coffees. R.A.S. has continued working with Boulder County based Conscious Coffees to highlight specific coffees from Ethiopia, Africa, the birthplace of civilization and of coffee. Batch #3, dubbed "the Trinity" is a light roast, washed coffee from the Fero Cooperative in the Sidamo region of Ethiopia. The coffee is described as being "grown at extremely high elevations, these beans retain lots of natural citrus notes up front, full body, and long, chocolatey finish. Subtle notes of apricot, lime, and brown sugar up front characterize this traditional washed coffee."


Once again the coffee is offered in a limited edition, reusable, and recyclable steel can. The artwork for Batch #3 is a reverent design by artist Ras Scott Mosher, based in Seattle, WA. The artwork and release date are meant to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the coronation of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I.

The "Trinty" batch is available directly from R.A.S. for $14 per can. Please check www.rasfarms.com or email rasagriculture@yahoo.com for more information or ordering.
