Smoky Mountain Knife Works and Foothills Fall Festival


This weekend Erin, John, and Chuck are setting up a booth at Smoky Mountain Knife Work's vendor's rep weekend.  VCC and Remington will be doing a joint venture with Smoky Mt Knife Works and this weekend is the beginning stages of this venture. 
The World's Largest Knife Showplace hosts this annual event in their massive retail showroom in  Sevierville, TN. Vendor Representatives come from around the world to share their product knowledge. There will be giveaways and special events for the whole family, including knifemaker demonstrations, knife and tomohawk throwing demonstrations, a re-enactment of the battle of Boyd's Creek on Friday at 4:30pm, and much much more! 

Sounds like a fun weekend! If you can take yourself away from the Foothills Fall Fest
ival, then come on down to Sevierville and see VCC and other vendors show their wares.

If you are in the Maryville area you should check out the Foothills Fall Festival.  USA Today said, "The Foothills Fall Festival is one of the Top Ten Fall Festivals to attend in the country!"

While you are down at the festival go to the vintage, Capitol Coffee and Theater (127 Broadway Ave.) and enjoy some of VCC's yummy brewed coffee or go to Lamar Amburn's Produce Market (222 W. Church street) and buy a bag of our fresh coffee. Perfect to take the chill off while roaming around the festival.

Blount County Food Connection


It's another dreary day today in beautiful Maryville, Tennessee, but it's hopping at the roastery. With the flavorful smells of roasted coffee wafting through the air,  we are preparing our space (which we just recently renovated... come check us out!) and teaching new staff in preparation for our new 35 Kilo roaster.  Check in later to find out when we will have it up and running (it'll be a great thing to come see). 

Also today we are proud to support Blount County Food Connection in donating a large amount of coffee to give to their families that they provide food for. If you are also interested in donating, they are always eager for donations. Please check out their blog...

Rachel Rising and Unveiling Cafe Femenino Project

On Oct. 2, 2008 at a moving and powerful concert, Rachel Rising, in support of a battered women's home, Haven House, Vienna Coffee Company unveiled their newest coffee to their already high quality selection of speciality coffees...


Welcome to the Cafe Femenino Project!!!
Our excitement for this coffee is high and we hope it will catch on quickly.

Here is how the project works...
VCC has chosen to participate in the Café Femenino Project roasting these Fair Trade Certified, specialty grade, organic coffees and distributing them throughout our region. VCC has selected Haven House (www.havenhousetn.org) as their sponsored local women's organization as allowed by the Café Femenino Project. After paying the women growers a fair price for their green coffee, VCC roasts the beans in small batches to bring out the optimal flavors from each variety.  A portion of all coffee sales then go directly to aid the women at Haven House. Disenfranchised women are being helped on both ends of the project.
