Looking to buy Fair Trade coffee? I totally believe in the power of Fair Trade sustainable products to create a better world with better products for everyone. I was fortunate enough to visit a Fair Trade farm a few years ago and witness the good that they can do first hand in creating schools and medical options for the farm workers. The Fair Trade Certified folks sent me a sampling of Fair Trade organic coffee beans and I am delighted to share information on the Fair Trade Coffee Companies I got to try.
