Years ago, while floating in a pool, my best friend and I started dreaming. We asked ourselves, “What if?” And then we took a leap and made it happen.
Painted Dragonfly Coffee began as an empty trailer and a big dream. Over the years, it became so much more—a place filled with laughter, friendships, amazing customers, hard work, and memories we’ll cherish forever.
As life brings us into new seasons filled with grandchildren, family adventures, and busy weekends, we’ve made the bittersweet decision to put Painted Dragonfly Coffee up for sale.
We truly have lived our dream, and now we hope someone else can make it their own.
We’ll be completing our June schedule and celebrating this chapter before planning our next adventure. While we’re excited about what’s ahead, it’s hard to say goodbye to something that has brought us so much joy.
Interested in learning more? Reach out! We’ll be sharing additional details after our private June events.
The sale includes the trailer, equipment, generator, and everything needed to help the next owner start their own fun and exciting coffee journey.
Thank you for being part of our story. β€οΈβπ¦
