Mount Vernon's coffee story

Umbrella Roasters picks up a plan that Thafer "Joe" Fahoum never carried out here. Before he emigrated from the Middle East more than fifty years ago, he helped start a family roasting tradition. In the US he married Catherine and raised four children, but never roasted here himself. His daughter and son-in-law run the business now, and part of every bag goes to the Joe Fahoum Scholarship Fund for students.

The name is a joke at the expense of Northwest locals, who seldom carry an umbrella in the rain.

Dorothea is careful about how it buys. It prefers to work through a producer group and an importer it trusts, commits to lots early, pays on time and does not haggle. Its bags reach the islands at the Orcas Food Coop's Olga store and the San Juan Island Food Coop.

Fidalgo buys the whole harvest of Finca Alta Mira, a Honduran farm run by Tierra Nueva, a nonprofit that also works in Skagit County. That comes to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 pounds of coffee a year.
