Dena Says Hi

Market View 6/12

While some us were sitting in a dark pub waiting for the US take on England in the World Cup others like Dena were working at the South of the James Farmers Market making sure that some of you could get a cup of the best coffee in the city. Below is Dena's latest Market update.

The South of the James Farmer's Market season is off to a booming start! Thanks to all of you, the Blanchard's booth is selling our fresh roasted coffee almost faster than we can brew it! It is wonderful to see your familiar faces each Saturday.

We have some new faces helping at the booth this summer, in fact we have been so busy I've gotten a little friend to help us keep up with the cream and sugar station. Her name is Emma and those of you that saw her last week know what a great helper she is!

Our cold brewed ice coffee is a favorite! Tom has doubled the amount he prepares to match the market demand for this refreshingly delicious drink.

Look forward to seeing you!

Dena's Taking a Ride

Our very own Dena is celebrated on the local blog Hills and Heights in a story submitted by David Hathcock. I have quoted part of the story below head on over to Hills and Heights for the full scoop.

Dena Fultz, a Forest Hill resident, is making her first long bicycle ride this weekend (May 22-23), and it couldn’t be for a better cause. Dena and friends are riding in the MS 150, a two day trip from Richmond’s North Side, through Old Church and down the Virginia Peninsula to Williamsburg. On Sunday, they will reverse the direction, and make a return trip, this time up hill.

The ride is designed to raise contributions for the Muscular Sclerosis Society. Several hundred riders are expected, with thousands of dollars to be raised. (Check on line at MS 150 Richmond).

From our Market Queen Dena;

May 1st was the much anticipated opening of the 2010 market. David and I arrived bright and early to prep for a slammin' day. We sold the first cup at 7:45and gave away the last 1/2 cup at 11:45 when we ran out! It was fantastic to see all our favorite Blanchard 'ffeine fiends. We appreciate your support and love serving you!
