I won=92t link to a pic of their display here because it may prevent my pos=

Subject: [NatureNS] Birds & Beans coffee at Organic Earth Market

I just received the following message from Birds & Beans. I may get there l=
ater today to see if Organic Earth Market has it on the shelf yet. Thanks t=
o everyone else who contacted them too.

=93I have some good news - late last week we sent the initial shipment of c=
offee to the Organic Earth Market - it should be there and available to pur=
chase now.

It is my understanding that they received a number of requests from people =
- so thank you very much for your effort. They seem to be a really good cho=
ice of a partner for us.

We are excited to be there and look forward to working with them to promote=
 Bird Friendly coffee in Halifax.=94
