The short version
Coffee cherry Cascara
The fruit around the seed.
A coffee bean is the seed of a fruit, and on most farms the fruit is left behind once the seed is pulled. Dried, that fruit is cascara, and it brews into something closer to a fruit tea than to coffee.
Brew
Sweet, tart, no roast on it.
Cascara steeps like a herbal tea and tastes of what it is: dried cherry and raisin, with a gentle lift rather than a jolt. It takes ice well. There is caffeine in it, well under a cup of coffee.
Wear
The parlor, on a hoodie.
The hoodie and the long sleeve carry the roastery mark. They are the thing people pick up on the way out, after the second cup, when they decide they are coming back.
Give
For the person with a grinder.
A gift card covers whatever is roasting that week, which beats guessing at a roast level for someone else. It works online and in the parlor.

Come find us out back
The roastery sits behind the milk house on the family farm, at the corner of Stump and NW Townline Rd in Marcellus. Look for the big silver grain bin, walk between it and the old silo, and head for the red arrow on the door.

Answers
Frequently asked
Cascara, sizing, shipping, and gift cards.
What is cascara tea?
Cascara is the dried fruit of the coffee cherry, the part that surrounds the coffee seed. It is steeped like a herbal tea rather than brewed like coffee, and it tastes of dried cherry and raisin. It contains caffeine, but considerably less than a cup of coffee.
How do I brew cascara?
Steep it like a loose leaf tea: roughly a tablespoon per cup in water just off the boil, for four to five minutes, then strain. It is good iced as well, either chilled after steeping or poured hot straight over ice.
What merchandise do you carry?
We keep a small range: a Milk House Roastery hoodie, a black long sleeve tee, cascara tea, and gift cards. Stock is limited and sizes run out, so the online listing is the best guide to what is available right now.
Do you ship merchandise?
Yes. Apparel, cascara and gift cards all ship, and they can go in the same order as a bag of coffee. You can also order online and collect everything on the farm.
How do the gift cards work?
Gift cards are delivered by email and can be spent online or in the parlor, on coffee, pantry goods or merchandise. They start at $10 and do not expire.
Can I try things on in the parlor?
Yes, come see us during in-store hours, Friday 9 to 2 and Saturday and Sunday 9 to noon. What is on the rack in the parlor is what we have, so it is worth checking the online listing first if you are driving in for a particular size.
