Our Commitment to Fair Trade

We believe in direct relationships with growers, whether they are in our own backyard, or Latin America. We believe in paying a fair wage, and supporting small-scale growers in developing countries. We are Fairtrade Canada licensees.

Fair Trade is an easy extension of the Discovery Organics buying philosophy; we believe in supporting small scale farmers, endeavoring to help them build a market for their crops, and make enough money to cover the cost of production plus a fair profit on the crops we buy. Those are the same goals we’ve had since the first day we opened our doors.

We have seen firsthand, through numerous visits to farms in South America and Mexico, the transformative nature of Fair Trade. Some of our long-term Fair Trade relationships include BOS, Interrupcion, PROPALTA, APPROMALPI, and AGROVIDA. To learn more about these cooperatives check out our blog and our grower profiles.
