Coffee, lots of fresh roasted coffee, here in Ottawa
Poppa Bean’s making headlines!
For anyone who missed it, you can catch Paul in all his glory on the Ottawa Citizen website. You can read about Living Locally in Russell and watch a little video staring Paul (Brock also sneaks into the shot towards the end). Et pour nos supporters français, consultez le journal Le Droit demain matin.
Can’s For Coffee, or cash or any non perishable foods.
I woke up this morning to a house that was 13C, the fire in the basement was out and we forgot to turn on the furnace before we went to bed. Snug as a bug we get up flick a switch, stack the fire and we have warmth, sit back and enjoy a cup of bean. For many Canadian, the cost of heating can be a major strain financially. The Ottawa Food Bank is an indiscriminate organisation in place to help anyone living near or within Ottawa. To be frank, you qualify by asking.
Here at Poppa-Bean HQ we see livening locally as a convenient mid way fill up those depleted coffee stocks. It is also a perfect time to see all the best vendors of Cumberland, Metcalfe, and Lansdown all in one convenient location making this an all around great get together.
Here are the deets:

Firstly thanks to those of you who spotted our typo! We were surprised at the number of people who found the mistake and notified us – wow, people are actually visiting our site!
Secondly, here is our December Newsletter (to be posted) as well as Paul’s preamble (with more thank you’s).
As the year draws to an end we just wanted to send a shout out to everyone who has been supporting us for the past years. This has been a phenomenal year and we surpassed any goals we had set.
We anticipated that this would be a challenging year, watch any news or read any paper in fact just look around and you can see that there are many people hurting right now. Yet here we are thriving in an air tight market. What I mean by this, is that there are many giant corporations that are holding their breath hoping and waiting for the economy “bounce back” and to breath in the consumers dollars. Yet Poppa-Bean never felt it? Go figure, a guy with a background in Social Anthropology and a girl with a Bio-Chem + Nutrition Degree are out performing hot shots with MBA’s and PHD’s in Economic. How is this possible? We have no think tanks, we don’t have million dollar add campaign, we don’t have writers writing catchy memos and speeches. I kid you not, this letter is at the hands of a dyslexic at the mercy of spell check, who spent a grand total of $1050.00 on our ad campaign/new ass kicking labels created by Lisa Baird. Our top notch think tank was Sarah and I asking each and every one of you what you
thought about our product. Clearly people love our product, and your support has made this year the our best year ever. Records now days
are set by fast, high tech equipment and million dollar research teams during ideal conditions. Yet here I sit at the top of my game reflecting on what has been a remarkable year during an economical melt down. The secret for our success is you, without your trust and support this letter would have had a much different tone. I want to thank each and everyone for coming out and trying my product and supporting us and we look forward to the coming days, weeks, months and years a head.
Thank you so much.
Paul + Sarah
