Getting to Know Sagebrush, Episode #2 - Jenna Kellso
A couple of months ago, I sent out an email with a Q&A about my sister Zoë. It was fun to have her create & fill out the survey and I was delighted by how many responses I received in response. So it is time for another Q & A.
This one is with my wife Jenna. She is the glue that keeps Sagebrush Coffee together. Sagebrush Coffee wasn't her idea and isn't her passion, but she treats it like her own. If you call our number, you'll likely talk to her. If you typed your mailing address incorrectly, she made sure you got your coffee anyway (you'd be surprised how often that happens). If we make a mistake strategically, she is the one that tells me and gets us going the right away again. Every bag of coffee shipped in some way has her fingerprints on it.
But that's not all. We also have a sister business, Hackberry Tea. She spends as much time on that business as Sagebrush, if not more. In fact, we joke that Hackberry Tea is hers while Sagebrush is mine and as with anything, it becomes a competition in this house.
She doesn't state it below, but when she's not working on Sagebrush, she is helping raise our 3 kids, volunteering at our church, running our household and caring for more people around her than I could count. She truly is a treasure.
So let's learn a little bit more about Jenna Kellso.
