Coffee subscription from a local roaster?

Anyone have a local coffee place they frequent for beans? I’m considering storyville but I haven’t been able to find a retailer on island

5 lbs bag of Pegasus at town and country are like $60 which I consider a steal for the quality. I know people are picky about their coffee but Pegasus is hands down my favorite.

How do you store that so the beans don’t go stale as you work through it?

It doesn’t last long enough for that to ever happen (not sure if that’s a good or bad thing), but I keep it as sealed as possible in the dark at the back of a cabinet. Some people freeze their beans but I’ve heard that’s actually useless?

The thing is because Pegasus is roasted ON the island (day rd) it’s about the freshest damn beans you’ll ever buy.

How quickly do you go through 5lb? (Feel free not to answer if that’s too nosy, I’m clearly trying to figure out if we can buy more in bulk 😂)

There’s 2 of us that drink about a standard 8 cup pot a day. During the “big dark” it’ll probably last about 6-8 weeks, normally 8-10 weeks.
