Have you ever wondered what makes Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream taste so good? It's Fairtrade banana puree, sourced from our farmer partner in Ecuador. Join us on *Thursday, Oct 31* at 1 pm EST for a discussion of ethical ice cream sourcing and its impact on growers. We'll be joined by AsoGuabo farmer member Patricia Llivizupa and Ben & Jerry's Global Head of Values Led Sourcing, Cheryl Pinto .

When we first began selling coffee in 1986, it was only 6 years after Nicaragua's agrarian reform. Our inaugural annual report put one farmer's story on the front page. In 1987, we made our first try at tea, Samusala Ceylon. The coffee chain (2000) is still accurate today. Unfortunately. #tbt #fairtrade #CoopMonth #coffee #tea

The engine of our co-op, reciprocating energies between farmer co-ops, consumer co-ops, independent grocers, activists, and shoppers. #CoopMonth #coop #WeOwnIt

Co-ops and member of co-ops, we salute you! What co-ops do you belong to? List your #coop in the comments.

This is why we call it ALTERNATIVE trade. We import #cashews & dried #mango from Gebana Afrique. Gebana "invests predominantly in West Africa, where other foreign investors are deterred by currency crises and military coups..."

Food #cooperatives are independent - but did you know that together they sell more than $2.5 billion of groceries every year? If you are part of the 230+ member stores of National Co+op Grocers , we'd love to see you at one of our educational sessions Friday morning and for a surprise tasty treat later at the booth. #fairtrade #organic #produce #coopsupplychain

Tabletop season is here! It’s always reinvigorating to talk IRL about why EE buys the way we do and from whom, but especially when it’s with independent grocery folks. Marcus Michael and River Cook put the “good” in packaged goods at the INFRA show last week, serving up #mango , #cashews , #coffee , and #chocolate produced by small scale farmer #cooperatives . #organic #fairtrade #IAC24 #NaturalFoods

Continuing this series about #chocolate and the #cocoa market, guest writer Dana Geffner reflects on cause & effect: "Low prices are at the core of so many issues that cocoa farmers face: continuous low prices, the undervaluation of the crop, which means historic under-investment, and generational poverty that creates forced child labor and deforestation," not to mention that "disproportionate power held by a few mega-corporations grants them political power over local governments..." https://lnkd.in/gmbmXBf3
