A very exciting project geared to support American farmers has finally produced fruit! And nuts!! We here at the co-op are very pleased to announce the arrival of the first domestic fair trade products in the marketplace. We are now carrying Organic Tamari Roasted Almonds, Roasted Salted Pecans, and Organic Dried Cranberries from Equal Exchange. EE has long been a trading partner of the SRFC for coffee, tea, and chocolate, as well as an innovator in the field of Fair Trade. The SRFC, EE, and many others in the world of co-ops and sustainable food feel these products are a dramatic first step in bringing economic equity to American farmers. To learn more about domestic fair trade, these products, and the farmers behind them, visit .
