We encourage you to choose Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate, and gifts to pay farmers and artisans fairly, protect the environment with the Fair Trade Standards, and ensure adults farm the cocoa for our chocolate.
At events “when time permits” (often during the last 1/2 of events) we give away YOUR CHOICES of FREE Fair Trade chocolate and tea (for you to make at home) – yum yum!
We’re a 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit with EIN 86-3602442. To donate, please text FAIR to 53555. Thank you!
