UMG/Flamenco was able to go to Dominican Republic last month for a coffee origin trip. It was a blast overall! We all learned a ton about coffee and a whole lot more about the island and its history.

Please check out our Flamenco Origin Trips Page to view pictures and videos. We will have some stories and more information soon. Enjoy!

UMG is now making our own gourmet scone mix. You can make delicious scones in as little as 15 minutes from the bowl to you display case. They smell amazing as they’re baking and taste even better. How’d you like to save $1000′s of dollars every year and double your bakery business? We know your sales will increase with the very first case you buy. If you’re paying .75-$1.00 (or more) a scone now you’ll save over $1000 dollars, enough to buy a Cadco counter-top convection oven with just 3 cases of scone mix and after that, the $1000 goes into your pocket every 3 cases. You control the flavors, you control the quality of ingredients. It’s so easy you can teach any employee to make them. Never again will you run out of scones at noon and turn away customers for the rest of the day. You’ll just bake more in 15 minutes!!! The smell will cause more sales and customers will drool as they watch you pull the fresh pans out of the oven. Don’t over order from your supplier because you might run out and then have to sell day old at half price. Don’t sell day old delivered product as fresh either. Bake bake bake, did we mention it was easy? Call us now for more info on the great mix and Cadco’s great new counter-top oven. Stop by the showroom and we’ll bake a batch for you to try. You will never regret baking your own. Stop by our booth at the Milwaukee restaurant show March 8th-10th and try them there too. I’m going to go eat another, darn they’re good.
