60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: What Does the War in Ukraine Have to Do With Roasting Coffee Beans in Camden, Maine? - a podcast by Diane F. Wyzga

Hello to you listening in Camden and Lincolnville, Maine!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

My friend John Ostrand owns and operates Green Tree Coffee & Tea in Lincolnville, Maine.  It’s my go-to source for coffee beans despite the coffee mecca in Washington State.

What does the war in Ukraine have to do with roasting coffee beans in Camden, Maine? Maks Isakov and his family fled the war in Ukraine ending up in Mid-Coast Maine in 2022. John and the community are supporting Maks in launching his coffee company, Kavka Coffee, and eventually creating a welcoming coffee café for storytelling and connections.

From the Soul of Ukraine. Roasted on the Coast of Maine. What are the chances? For those who may not be able to tell one cup of coffee from another, Kavka Coffee takes pride in crafting exceptional blends from specialty Arabica coffee beans, and they're committed to donating $1 per bag of coffee sold to Ukraine humanitarian efforts, as well as eventually local charities in Maine. Kavka will make your day special from the very first sip. Buy a few bags. I did! The direct Shopping link:  Shop Kavka Coffee here: 

To further support Maks and Kavka Coffee, I’m highlighting their Kickstarter funding goal of raising $9,000.00 so Maks can buy a coffee bean roasting machine of his own. The direct link is in the Episode Notes. But, time is running out. This is an all or nothing deal! Your support must arrive by the deadline of October 18th, 2023, 9:17AM PDT.  Let’s do our part. I did! Each One Lift One is how we roll here!
