sharing.” When
your grand design
gets delivered to an
anxiously awaiting diner who will
have an awakening of all 5 senses as a
result of your work……well then you
have made a difference. And making a
difference is Climb’s Roast is all about.
It is important to note that Climb’s
Roast doesn’t just produce coffee with
a cause. They produce Fair Trade,
sustainably sourced and Certified,
USDA Organic Coffee. Their Columbia
Supremo is their most popular blend
and is available at local coffee houses
throughout Charlotte. The beans are
grown in the mountainous regions of
the Columbian Andes. The stable year
round climate and rich volcanic soil
make this bean….. the perfect bean.
But coffee is not just about the bean;
it’s how you roast the bean. Chip
and Cheery have mastered the art
of roasting a bean with a bright and
robust flavor while eliminating the
bitterness. Its rich aroma, medium
body and naturally sweet taste will
accompany most anything you desire.
Chip and his wife Cheery of 37
years operate a retail presence of
Climb’s Roast here in Charlotte. They
are located inside the BLACKLION
furniture store on 10635 Park Rd in
Pineville. BLACKLION owner Bob
Emory has also played in integral part
of promoting this great cause. If you
find yourself driving through Pineville
make sure to roll your window down.
When Climb’s Roast is roasting it fills
the air and will give you pause. Most
of all pay them a visit. You will find
both Chip and Cheery hard at work in
this full service coffee and sandwich
shop. Don’t just drink the coffee talk
to the folks that work there. While
there you will not only enjoy the coffee
but you can take a bag home, or a box
of K-Cups that are produced right
there in the store. Climb’s Roast is
also available on-line at Climb’s Roast.

To quote the great John Donne:
“any man’s death diminishes me, for I

am involved in mankind.” At the end
of the day the affect something has
on us can be a conscious choice. We
can choose to recognize we are just a
part of something greater and through
contribution we can make a difference,
or we can choose not to. Not all of us
can dedicate our lives to causes like
Chip and Cheery, however we all have
the power to make a difference. To
quote the great Chip Furr: “We are
here for a short time; the goal isn’t
to live forever……the goal is to create
something that will.
