For the September and October coffee sales, we raised the price per bag from $10 to $15, because we have not changed the price in 25 years and because the cooperative of farmers had recently become certified organic and fair trade. However, we now realize that this was too big of a jump in price since we did not sell as much coffee as usual. We have decided, beginning with this weekend’s sale at Our Lady’s, to offer the coffee for a flat $12 per bag. This will create challenges with making change, but we will come prepared to sell with ones and fives for change. However, we ask that, if possible, you bring the correct cash amount, use a check (payable to Our Lady’s), or pay by Venmo.
Thanks for your patience as we try to get the right price to ensure that we have lots of buyers and that the coffee growers are compensated fairly. We’re grateful for your support for our friends, the farmers of San Marcos!
