On this episode of the Food About Town podcast, Ben Turiano from Joe Bean Coffee Roasters and Ben Weiner from Gold Mountain Coffee talked everything around quality coffee sourcing and distribution. Ben Turiano called into the studio late last week to give an update on Joe Bean and how they are doing with the current pandemic situation.

If you want to support Joe Bean right now, go to their website and subscribe to their Perpetual Joy coffee program or watch their series of videos coming out talking more about how to make great coffee.

This episode is brought to you by the newly launched RochesterFoodNet. I am very happy to be a part of the group of well established voices in the Rochester food scene talking on our own terms. Check out what we have going on so far on the website and we’ll be dabbling in more podcast episodes coming up soon!

This was an exceptional opportunity for me to learn more about how the coffees I love get from where they are grown to my carafe at home. Really enjoyed getting to know how they keep such high standards both with the coffee quality and the way they treat their workers.

The podcast schedule for next week will include an interview with Trystan Sandvoss from First Light Creamery and a recording with Chris Clemens and Amanda Antinore from the new RochesterFoodNet.

Keep safe and be good to yourself, those around you, and reach out to the people you love. We all need to hear good things right now!
