Harvest Journal


A heads up for further reading...Byron Holcomb of Young Tree Coffee has another outstanding article featured in the current Barista Magazine (April/May 2009). You may peruse it here (pages 66-71) or go to Barista Magazine to subscribe to this periodical for coffee professionals.

This is the second installment of his Harvest Journal, the story of his bold plan to develop his own coffee farm in the Dominican Republic and to help to bring coffee from the DR to the specialty coffee world stage - an endeavor few Baristas from the United States would strive to accomplish.

The first installment featuring his trials, tribulations, and victories at Finca La Paz was in the August/September 2008 issue of Barista Magazine (pages 22-25). You may find more information at Holcomb's website.
