Last Friday I found out there is guy in town that roasts and of all places sells his beans thru a bicycle shop down town. So Saturday I went to get some. I was a little disappointed that there were only a few bags and the freshest was already a couple weeks off roast but it was an 8 oz bag for $7 so I bought some. While Colombian is not my favorite bean it was very good. On the bag was a web address so I checked it out and it was not a finished site so I decided to contact him to find out if he would let me know after he does a roast so I could get it fresher and what type beans he normally roasts and how he roasted them. He did reply and told me he uses a older Roaster's Exchange 5 kilo so I looked it up and was surprised to see this to say the least. He did say he has no schedule that it is more a hobby than a business and he would let me know when he roasts his next batch.
He did mention on his site that he is in the process of updating his site so I offered him my services. I work for a company that sells Wordpress sites to our customers and while I'm not a designer or developer I do provide customer support for these sites so I know how to edit them. He said he is interested and would trade coffee for my time if I helped him get his site updated.
Wow a local roaster, I'm very excited and hope I cam develop a good relationship with him, I would love to be able to watch him roast a batch and learn more about that aspect.
