501c3



Earth Friendly Foundation on its way to obtaining the 501c3 designation. The mission if you've missed it so far is a roaster for Maya Ixil Cooperative in Guatemala --- and enough training in quality roast to place the indigenous Mayan farmers on a more equal footing with the world market for highest quality specialty coffee. Maya Ixil is in the high volcanic mountains. Their coffee grows in harmony with the forest beneath macadamia nut trees. The high altitude yields a slow maturation of these mellow hard beans. Because of the altitude the cherries ripen free of disease. These hand picked beans are among the best in the world.

An "E" sponsor and a Green and Save race car, but does it have an "e" booster? and "e" brakes? Ah, a secrete weapon! That extra torque, accelerating out of a turn, the cooler energy capturing braking entering a turn and the extra miles on limited fuel might make a believer out of race fans. Only when race fans identify "e" power with burning rubber and new track records will the public fully embrace electric, hybrid, plug-in, fuel cell or whatever. A little lightning out the exhaust might help, and yes, the smell of ozone in the air. Earth Friendly Coffee should fit right in. We carbon offset with Native Energy too.

Maya Ixil, Guatemala

Diane is on a mission again. The goal is to secure a roaster for the cooperativa in Maya Ixil. They have the space and the motivation. What is lacking is the roaster and the training for these people to work in the supply chain with the same commitment to quality, consistency and promptness that characterized the US market. USAID may help some and others too --- so good luck!

In the meantime, the best coffee yet at EFCC is the Ixtil coffee. Paid way more than Fair Trade, it is all certified: organic, shade grown, SHB and FT. -- best taste yet.

We are still looking for experienced sales people. Unemployed, stuck at home, give a call. 866 807-6089.
