Wilco Coffee

Need some organic coffee to wash down your “She’s A Jar” Wilco Sky Blue Sandwich Company sandwich?

The Chicago based band Wilco now has an organic coffee named after them in addition to some deli sandwiches, available from their hometown roaster, Intelligentsia.

Organic Ethiopia Sidama Homecho Waeno has a description more passionate that country music lyrics:

“The aromatics of coffee blossom and violet make way for an incredibly graceful and elegant cup. The body has a light and silky quality, like fresh whipped cream, that beautifully compliments the ever-present note of citron, juniper berry and vanilla. As it cools, the cup blossoms into notes of confectioner’s sugar, rosehips, and soft raisin, resonating on a pristine finish with a touch of milk chocolate.”

A sandwich shop in Toronto loves Wilco so much, they’ve named some of their culinary creations after them.

According to Pitchfork, the Sky Blue Sandwich Company offers signature sandwiches named after the Chicago based alternative rock group, and the menu indicates vegetarian Wilco fans are not left in the dark.

“She’s a Jar” comes with almond butter spread on honey whole wheat bread, topped with banana slices and sprinkled with cinnamon.

And “Red Eyed and Blue” features mozzarella topped with tomato, sweet onion and basil leaves and wasabi mayonnaise.

Jason Mraz will play at the Farm Aid 2009 all day music and food festival in St. Louis, Missouri at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre on Sunday October 4.

Farm Aid’s goal is to encourage and assist small, family farms and encourage consumers to purchase food that comes from these farms.

Farm Aid 2009 is being presented by Horizon Organic, sponsored by DIRECTV, Organic Valley Family of Farms, Silk, and EternaGreen.

Fitting that Mraz would be performing at such a benefit, as he has a small avocado farm of his own and was named MNN’s top Farmers Under 40.

In addition to musical performances by Mraz, Dave Matthews, Wilco, John Mellencamp and founder Willie Nelson, Farm Aid 2009 will offer a chance to interact with farmers and activities that get your hands dirty-learning firsthand how soil is kept rich and nourished.

Food makes events even better and Farm Aid will feature a plethora of food for vegetarians like veggie burgers, veggie dogs and veggie salad roll-ups.
