Muddy Sneakers extends sincere gratitude to Pisgah Coffee Roasters for bringing back September’s Hellbender coffee fundraising campaign. Bags of Hellbender blend are $14 each – $7 of which goes to Muddy Sneakers. The coffee can be purchased on site at Pisgah Coffee Roasters, 6283 Asheville Highway in Pisgah Forest, NC. In addition, it is available online at https://pisgahroasters.com/products/hellbender.
Jotham Lipsi, Owner and Head of Operations for Pisgah Coffee Roasters, said, “We truly value our community, and a significant contribution to those connections comes from local collaborations. Our long-term relationship with Muddy Sneakers is a testament to our shared commitment to innovative learning experiences and environmental stewardship.”
Muddy Sneakers mission is to awaken in children a deeply felt connection with the natural world. The organization is excited to offer the community such a unique way to support this work.
Jordan Robbins, Muddy Sneakers’ Development Director, said, “Muddy Sneakers is a community collaboration model. Due to the generosity and care of local community members and NC businesses like Pisgah Coffee Roasters, we are able to help our public schools close opportunity gaps while connecting the next generation to our beloved conserved natural areas.”
Hellbender is sourced from the Cerrado region of Brazil. This limited edition post-roast blend is subtly sweet with notes of chocolate. It is only available during the month of September. Muddy Sneakers says last year, many individuals asked to purchase more after the promotion ended.
“The Muddy Sneakers community now looks forward to September for the return of Hellbender,” said Robbins. “It’s a great opportunity to enjoy a lovely morning coffee, while getting our public school children outside learning their science curriculum. And it’s a fun opportunity to stock up on your holiday, teacher, and employee gifts – all while supporting Pisgah Coffee Roasters, Muddy Sneakers, and local teachers and students.”
