Actually, "...That is a great question Louise!<br /><br />Actually, "fair trade" is a pretty loose term right now considering that the fair price is currently lower than the regular market price. Our coffee shop in Springfield, MO uses PT's Coffee, and they are phenomenal.<br /><br />They have Direct Trade coffee, which is kind of the next step of "fair trade". It means they pay them a higher price than fair trade or market value and have a relationship with the farmers. The roasters make visits to each farm at least once a harvest.<br /><br />PT's Coffee is not alone though. There are other great companies out there like Topeca in Tulsa, Intelligentsia in Chicago, etc.<br /><br />I don't know where your little town in Oregon is. (Google Maps says it doesn't exist but who likes them anyway) But places in Oregon I know about are Coava, Public Domain, and Stumptown. They all have direct trade, but to be honest, I have never tried them. Stuck in the Mid-West for now!<br /><br />Thanks for checking my blog out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727645675950751306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769171470896127251.post-40908865354331943202010-12-13T10:05:33.979-06:002010-12-13T10:05:33.979-06:00Love this post!

On a so...Love this post! Gorgeous pictures, too. <br /><br />On a sort-of related note, perhaps you can tell me the best kind of fair-trade coffee to buy. Also, what coffees to avoid. (What, you mean Folgers isn't fair-trade? I kid, I kid... and I just threw up a little.)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014769202704872348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769171470896127251.post-46488472551704777062010-11-20T23:26:05.248-06:002010-11-20T23:26:05.248-06:00adored this post.
