  1. Paul Katzeff has been importing, roasting and selling coffee under the name Thanksgiving Coffee in Fort Bragg, California since 1972. He advertised in my newspaper /Memo/, and he paid for time on my radio show on KMFB off and on over the years, and now he sometimes helps with KNYO. There was a disaster of the roastery building, or what you call it, burning down to the ground once, the sky over Noyo Harbor alive with flames, but they rebuilt and they're still going, doing Fair Trade coffee and environmentally better coffee, and so on. They sell in grocery stores mostly only in the San Francisco Bay Area and north of there, so I'm not surprised the coffee taster guy in the video didn't know to try it. They do mail order and they have a web store. Here's some info: ThanksgivingCoffee.com
