ANNOUNCING THE AVAILABILITY OF KEW PARK
COFFEE IN THE PITTSBURGH AREA
New
Coffee Bar at the East Liberty Farmers Market
A new coffee bar opened
recently at the East Liberty Farmers Market that features incredible coffee
from Jamaica. Fresh brewed and whole bean coffee will be available at the
market. Kew Park Coffee
is being brought to you directly from the farm by the Lagnese family from
Highland Park. The coffee is roasted and shipped directly from Jamaica to
Pittsburgh on a weekly basis. It does not go through a distributor or
wholesaler, and thus does not sit on a shelf in a warehouse.
Freshly made juice is also
available at the bar. This week will feature fresh squeezed Valencia orange
juice, and freshly made cranberry juice.
The East Liberty Farmers
Market operates year round and is open every Saturday from 5 am until 12 noon.
The market is located behind Home Depot. The East Liberty Farmer’s Market has
been a part of our community since 1947! The market features a great variety
of locally grown and made items including meats, fruits and vegetables, bread,
eggs, cider, cheese and much more.
The Kew Park Story
Kew Park Estate is a
well-known coffee estate located high in the hills of the parish of
Westmoreland, in Western Jamaica. Coffee has been grown on Kew Park for over
200 years. Currently, a total of 35 acres of Arabica coffee is grown at Kew
Park, and is widely regarded as among the best Jamaican coffees. The coffee
farm is part of a larger 2,200 acre farm that features citrus and other fruits,
as well as beef cattle, pigs, chickens and hardwood tropical trees—all grown
and raised using sustainable methods. The farm also specializes in the
production of essential oils and aromatic fragrances. Kew Park was granted one
of the first “Estate Grown Coffee” designations issued by the Jamaican Coffee
Industry Board. The Estate Grown Coffee status allows Kew Park to process and
market the coffee both locally and for export.
Kew Park is a family run
operation—owned and operated by Peter Williams and his wife Gina Green. The
Williams family has farmed Kew Park for five generations. They take great pride
in the way they grow and process their coffee. The Kew Park farm provides
livelihood to many families in the surrounding communities.
The coffee bar is also a
family run operation- the Lagnese family from Highland Park- David, Cristy,
Marco and Maria.
