HOLD UP! Just hold up, one sec.
While my wife — and mama to our kids — is the one behind most of these Insta posts and stories, shouting out all the wonderful people and little things that make our small coffee business magical, please allow me to shine a light on her: THE mama of bwè.
Thirteen years ago, Dale and her brother Evan had a vision to create a small neighborhood coffee shop where good things could happen — for people and for farmers, both locally and globally. The story of our business continues from then, to now, and into whatever exciting future lies ahead.
But through this past decade, the behind-the-scenes reality of building bwè while raising our family of now three beautiful kids has been one of the most joyful and incredible things I’ve ever witnessed.
Through exhausting nights and messy mornings, school homework and worrying doctor visits, our community not only sees her smile shine through every day, but also her kind and compassionate leadership always taking the reins when needed.
And the thing about mama bwè is this: through thick and thin, we all know this is how she’ll show up — not because it’s expected of her, but because it’s simply who she is.
Rarely do we get to gush over Dale (it took me forever just to figure out how to log in and type this while she’s distracted), but here I am gushing — because she deserves it all. This very well may get deleted once she finds out.
Happy Mother’s Day to ALL the amazing mamas and mama-figures out there who are truly moving the world forward. We love you!
