Fair Trade Coffee, Tea & Chocolate Sales

The first Sunday of every month from September through May, our Green Sanctuary Committee sells organic fair trade coffee, tea and chocolate. Proceeds support our coffee hour (at which we serve fair trade products) and youth activities.

See the Green Sanctuary page for more information on the Green Sanctuary program.

Fair trade products are purchased directly from the growers for a higher price than standard products. The purpose of fair trade is to promote healthier working conditions and greater economic incentive for producers. Farmers producing fair trade certified products are required to be part of a co-op with other local growers. The co-ops determine how the premiums from fair trade coffee will be spent. Growers are guaranteed a minimum price for the coffee, and if market prices exceed the minimum, they receive a per pound premium.
