After being exposed to bluegrass music from different sources and events, we were inspired. Soon we were working on our own bluegrass music. Our first cd was released in August of 2009. Our second cd was released in September of 2010. In September of 2009 we welcomed Derek Tiemann into our family! Derek, Rachel and Christine join us for concerts when they are able. We fully enjoy being able to sing together for the glory of God. Our prayer and vision is that our music will praise and honor our Lord Jesus and that many souls would be brought to Him.

The Minnesota Coffee Roasting Company is a micro roaster of specialty coffees from around the world. We were founded in 2006 by me, Matt Knott. I had studied and worked in the culinary arts for many years before I got into the coffee business. I started roasting for a small shop while I was living in Alaska and soon fell in love with every aspect of the coffee world, from the beginning of the plant's life cycle to the unique flavors found in the cup. During every roast there is something new to learn, and with every new crop or new origin there is some thing new to try and experience.
