Go Green Mountain, and can not wait to try their coffee. Hope they make some expresso, as we are hooked on the hard stuff, and have to have it, especially early morning. Thanks for choosing Knoxville!

Espresso is my favorite too! I am coffee addicted. I drink the stuff all day long!

Great news! That was an excellent article. I am really impressed with how they treat their growers and employees. I guess some other New Englanders have found out about Knoxville.

By the way, it says you can get the coffee at Ingle's and Kroger's.

Wow! So in this year, 2008, TN got or is getting, VW, Ikea, Green Mountain Coffee.....shoot, I know there were a few more manufacturers who announced they are opening plants in TN. Anyone remember?
All of these are good news for TN employees.
Things might be looking up economy wise a bit more for TN
( I know, I know, I am always disgustingly optimistic, but hey, I is me. )

But they're closing another factory in Tennessee with a net decrease in jobs in Tennessee.

When I lived in NY state, I always bought Green Mountain Coffee. They put out a decent product. I wish them well in Knox County.
