Fair Trade Month
Happy Fair Trade Month Everybody!
“For Millions of farmers around the World, Fair Trade means thriving communities, kids in school and a healthy environment. For consumers, it means great taste and a responsible purchase. By participating in Fair Trade, you support the farmers who deliver quality coffee, tea, cocoa and fresh fruit to you.
Fair Trade Certified products are grown by artisan farmers around the world with a tradition of excellence going back generations. Choosing Fair Trade enables these farmers to continue giving their crops the care that produces quality, even during times of market volatility.”
For the entire month of October we encourage you to support the farmers by making an effort to purchasing Fair Trade products. Coffee Bean Direct proudly offers 15 varieties of Fair Trade Certified coffees. For your convenience Coffee Bean Direct also offers a Fair Trade/Organic sampler pack, which includes 7 of the 15 varieties of FT coffees as well as 4 organics.
While showing your support for farmers during Fair Trade month is a fantastic effort, we hope that you continue to show them your support all year run!
