_earmuff I think I'll have to wear somethin' besides shorts today ;D ;D ;D

Frank...Ya don't know what yer missin'. Janet's coffee is just SOOPER

Give my thanks to them hard workin' shade farmers

I know Janet isn't going to toot her horn this way, but I will. Janet encourages the local farmers to grow the good stuff - shade grown and organic. The reason it is so smooth is that coffee isn't supposed to grow in the sun - but it produces more when you do. But the quality suffers.

You are now drinking coffee the way it was meant to be. Also, Janet pays the farmers more. Normally, you can barely survive raising coffee - but by growing the good stuff and having Janet sell directly to you, the farmers have a decent living - and you have the best coffee there is. And of course, the birds and the rivers thank you too.

So, you can enjoy a great cup and know you actually are helping too. Not a bad thing at all.

Hate to tell you all - you just turned into environmentalist... ;D I just know you are suffer deprivation because of it... :

Gee. Fred. tjanks.
I can' t help it. I've known you too long.
What are you up to, or what is it you want?
???

He's just trying to convince us that we aren't environmentalist because we don't fertilize our trees with poop. :D

I ain't buying it. ;D

I'm thinkin' free coffee is involved ;D ;D ;D

crtreedude · January 18, 2006, 12:05:19 PM

Probably not booting me off CostaRicaLiving - a forum Janet owns. Perhaps one "Get out of Jail" pass... ;D

Truth be told most of us on here are more of an enviornmentalist than any of the ones that use it as a title.

My son asked me if the coffee being organic meant much to me. I told him it did and that most of what I grow for us is done organically but if it comes down to starving or using Diazinon to kill the bugs that are ruining my crops the choice is simple.

I go out of my way to do business with companies such as Janet's, it's just good karma.

janet · January 18, 2006, 01:13:00 PM

Hey, even organic certification doesn't require you to LOSE your crop! If there are no organic alternatives, and the crop is at stake, there are concessions made at times.
And Fred, nah, not off of CostaRicaLiving (a Yahoo group)...who else would pick on me and keep me in line?
And you get free coffee, dude, when I get free wood.
: )

crtreedude · January 18, 2006, 01:20:16 PM

Yep - I agree with you Norm.

Since you are thinking about building a home - I can see why you want the free wood. I drink a lot of coffee, but not THAT much.

janet · January 18, 2006, 03:16:32 PM

But, FRED, it will be a SMALL house, the coffee is really great, and...and...and....I KNOW, I´ll be NICE to you.
