I had the pleasure of finding out about this company at the Geneva Farmer's Market this summer and fell in love instantly. The coffee was excellent (they have a decaf that actually tastes like coffee). The best iced coffee ever (they make "sun coffee", like sun tea...oh so so good.)
The coffee would have been enough, but the mission and the people make this an over the top win for everyone. Second Chance Coffee Company works with post prison offenders to help them start new lives as productive members of society. I've had the opportunity to meet several of these men as they have worked at the farmer's markets around me and they have the best energy. Hard working, energetic, funny, generous, enthusiastic and clearly grateful for the opportunity they have, it's just a pure joy to buy coffee from them.
Do check them out. Definitely worth supporting.
How i wish that i lot of people will patronize their patron. This will be a guiltless spending knowing that in the end you are helping someone.
