Peggy Ennenga, Roast master, wanted to create a coffee blend that captures the complexity and strength of a woman, and Painted Lady does just that. Fieldhead’s Coffee will donate $1.00 per pound of all wholesale and retail sales of Painted Lady to NOCC in memory of Marilyn Brown, to support NOCC’s ovarian cancer education awareness nationwide.
