For Millions of farmers around the world, Fair Trade means thriving communities, kids in school and a healthy environment. The Fair Trade Certification system ensures that family farmers receive a fair price for their top-quality products, empowering them to support themselves.
Fair Trade farmers are careful stewards of the land. They grow their crops in harmony with nature and without the use of harmful chemicals. In fact, over 85% of the Fair Trade products currently sold in the US are certified organic (n.b. The Atomic Cafe is not presently a Certified Organic coffee roastery, though our certification is in process).
Through Fair Trade over one million family farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia now get a fair deal for their commitment to quality products and the preservation of nature. Your support of Fair Trade is thus both a socially and environmentally responsible decision.
The Fair Trade Certified label guarantees:
- Fair Prices for family farmers
- Decent working and living conditions
- Environmentally friendly farming practices
- The most exacting quality standards
