Our coffee comes fromUP North Roast out of Escanaba, MI. They are great people, they make incredible coffee and they are always having fun. Show us and them where you enjoy your cup of Northwoods/UP North Roast coffee at!

Jake (owner & coffee roaster) and Jeff (delivery driver) recently took UP North Roast on a little adventure! Camping, fishing, and cooking over the fire.

The AeroPress and UP North Roast coffee kept them fueled every step of the way!

| MDHHS says 'immediately' throw away Orb Funkee squeeze toys following May recall

The recall involves two models with the date code 3102491A: the Gold Jumbo “Monkee” (model 17451) and the Monkee Mega assortment (model 41929). You can find the date code on the hand of the gold toy or on the back of the smaller toys.

MDHHS reissued the call for families to dispose of these 'monkee' toys, saying, "there is no safe amount of asbestos exposure."
