Jess visits Kenya
Posted in Education, On The Road | Comments (1)
At the end of October, Jess had the incredible privilege of traveling to Kenya and visiting some of the coffee farms that work together to produce the amazing Karie Microlot #2 (click that link to learn more about this coffee). You can check out a few pictures from her trip here.

More pictures, videos and stories from this trip will be coming soon!
