Reviews

  • "I have worked with the Rib Lake Community Development Foundation in getting a grant that helped buy a piece of equipment that has been so helpful in day to day operations. This was in the summer of 2023. I was unaware when we purchased Java in 2019 of the Rib Lake Development Foundation, so I did not utilize potential resources from them when our dream of starting Java was in the early stages. We recommend contacting them to see how they can help your business."
