Something Different In The Stocking

We're getting down to the final stretch of Christmas shopping.  There's one more weekend left and then Tuesday is Christmas Eve. 

If you're still looking for something special for a stocking or need a gift for a friend or co-worker here's an idea.  Especially if they love coffee. 

Ricks Roasters is a fairly recent addition to the areas growing small businesses.  I met Sean the owner at a very humble table at the local farmer's market in Stafford last summer when he was just starting out.   His fresh custom roasted coffee blends have made his coffee beans a local favorite in just a few short months.  I've heard his coffee has even made its way into the Pentagon and is now found at several locations around the local area. 

Did I mention the owner recently retired from the military and now does this full time?  Our area is fortunate to have a number of retired military and former active duty personnel who are choosing to make the Fredericksburg area their home.  Thank you for your service and welcome!
