Learn more about what it means to be a co-op!
Everyone deserves to be treated fairly.
Why you should buy Fairtrade products:
To show your support for farmers and workers who work to build a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
For farmers’ & workers’ human rights, such as safety, housing and education.
Fairtrade supports workers’ rights to trade unions and collective bargaining, as well as democratic decision-making at the producer level.
Fair Trade tackles the root causes of biodiversity loss in many ways – from training farmers to setting standards for sustainable supply chains, and lobbying governments and corporations.
To create a demand for goods that were purchased on fair trade terms and telling companies that sustainable and ethical sourcing is important to you.
To show that you prioritize the people and places behind your food.
Because it is the right thing to do, and your choices matter — little changes can make a big impact.

during the month of October, Both of our stores will have an endcap with fair trade products so that it is easier for you to locate them in our stores.
La Riojana is a cooperative & certified FairTrade!
La Riojana is one of the largest co-operatives in Argentina and is currently ranked the country’s third largest wine exporter (by volume). But for their growers, their families and the communities they support, La Riojana means so much more than just the company to whom they sell their grapes and olives. Support Fair Trade and purchase La Riojana wines and olive oil! Learn more about La Riojana’s story by watching the video below or visiting www.lariojanawines.com.
