We’ve created some amazing COFFEE RECIPES! We hustled all month for one day: September 29th! Why September 29th? First, it was National Coffee Day– one of the most exciting days of the year for us! Second, we launched the Recipe section of Mission Arabica. Here’s the simple truth: The recipe section is AMAZING. You’re going to see one, if not two, recipes a month that utilize coffee in ways you have never thought of!

Take for example the Coffee Infused Beef Fajitas… WOW! My tastebuds went crazy! I’ve always loved a good fajita – but add in the flavor that our own coffee adds… [MIND BLOWN]. Don’t worry, though, You’re not eating coffee– This is just one example of a recipe that shocked me at how flavorful and moist the coffee made it. Great job to Carolyn for creating this great feast! Side note: Maybe it’s time to start allowing cows to drink coffee in the morning? They seem to taste EVEN better…

Our Recipe section is run by our very own Nancy Cheney. Nancy is not only Chris’s wife, but a dear friend to Adam and me. On top of being a mother of two and keeping Chris balanced and being a super amazing person, she now adds “Creative Director” of Mission Arabica Recipes to her established resume! Every time you make one of these out-of-this-world recipes, make sure to tag Mission Arabica on Facebook or Twitter with a picture showing your deliciousness!

Learn About Our Wholesale Program: 
With the launch of our wholesale program, we offer the ability to bring our LIFE CHANGING COFFEE to your business, coffee shop, church, club, or any other organization you’re apart of! I’m proud to announce that we are already in several coffee shops and stores! Growth is the only way to continue to impact the countries we are involved with, specifically Laos. To accomplish our “Mission” in Mission Arabica, we need YOUR help – Think we’d be a fit in your local grocery or coffee shop? Does your church offer coffee or have it’s own coffee setup? Do you ship coffee to your clients throughout the year or on specific holidays as a “thank you”? We can help YOU! And in turn, YOU help change lives! Contact us today- our emails are located at the bottom of this post!

To accomplish our mission, we have developed multiple goals that are broken into three phases.

Phase I is our audience growth phase. The purpose of this phase is to tell the story of our journey as three average guys who are stepping out to try and do something tremendous in the world. The goal of this story is two fold:

  1. To inspire others to follow our lead and take that step to do something great in the world. Don’t cut yourself short. Dream BIG and make it happen! You can do it!
  2. Through telling our story, we look to increase the demand for the third world coffee we will be selling. This isn’t as much of a profit thing as it is an impact thing. In other words:
  • The greater our audience – the greater demand there will be for Lao coffee
  •  The greater the demand for Lao coffee – the more plantations we can set up
  •  The more plantations we can set up – the more farmers pulled out of poverty

Total Site Visits in September: 783 (687 in August)
September saw a bump in site visits as we continue to grow. With the launch of PINTEREST and a focus on National Coffee Day, we saw a lot of positive things from our site! The key is continuing to provide quality material, which is something we strive to do daily! How can you help? Any social media platform you use, join us in! If you love to PIN, pin a few of our recipes and fun finds! Interact with us on twitter by tweeting a few pictures of you brewing some amazing coffee! We love having you apart of our Mission!

Phase II:

This phase will mainly focus around starting to buy and sell coffee from existing farmers as well as taking a trip to Laos. This will also lead to us opening as a Roaster, bringing out the flavor of each specific bean so you have great coffee. In doing this, we’ll bring the bean directly from the farmer, roasting it, and sending it directly to YOU.

Phase II also includes our first trip to Laos as we work to begin Phase III.

Phase III:

This phase is primarily focused on actually setting up a coffee plantation. This is really the primary goal of what we are trying to accomplish, but more details of this will become available once we have made a trip to Laos. In the mean time we are continuing to learn about coffee and coffee agriculture to help turn this vision into a reality.

Going Forward

October is all about continuing the success! Remember, we cannot do this without you! So sign up for our email list and share our posts with your friends on Facebook.
