Product Description
Blonde in color, sweet in nature. Squeezed from fresh sugar cane, this sugar is one of the most delicious, mineral-rich sugars in the world! It's a great way to savor sweetness derived naturally from plants, while also ensuring fair wages and just practices for all. How sweet is that?
One of our partner beaneries, located in Orange, MA, offers organic fair trade sugar as well as their fabulous coffees. They pay close attention to ensure that the planting, care, harvesting and processing of the beans is done in conformity with international standards for the health of the farmer and their environment, as well as the high quality of the bean. The vast use of pesticides in coffee production has serious impact on the ecology of the coffee-growing world and the health of farm communities. Being shade grown, our coffees support healthy environments for coffee growers and protect critical migratory bird habitat. Each player in the cycle of production and distribution, from the farmer to the consumer, participates in socially just and environmentally responsible trade. The beans are from small farmer cooperatives, largely made up of indigenous peoples working hard to maintain their culture and lifestyles in a hostile world. By supporting these small coops, rather than large estates and mega farms, we're fighting the chronic poverty and malnutrition that tends to be commonplace in those environments.
