Welcome to Equal Exchange, a worker-owned co-operative.
Equal Exchange has created Big Change since 1986. It all started with an idea: what if food could be traded in a way that is honest and fair, a way that empowers both farmers and consumers? What if trade supported small farmer co-ops that use sustainable methods, rather than industrialized agribusiness that relies on exploited labor and harmful chemicals? Our founders asked these questions as they envisioned a trade model that values farmers, consumers and the earth.
Our products now include fairly traded and organic coffee, tea, chocolate and snacks from all over the world, including here in the United States. We invite you to join us. Together we can create stronger local communities, a more just food system and a healthier planet.

You REALLY NEED to read my most recent blog post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I received an email today from TV personality Andy Campbell of "The BUZZ" Morning TV program in response to an email I sent him about some of his very skewed and biased statements relative to a study released that suggested millions of dollars would be generated by the legalization of Gay marriage. He didn't like what I had to say at all and went far out of his way to try and argue my points. You REALLY should see this!
May your troubles be less and blessings be more, May nothing but happiness enter your heart’s door. Open your eyes to all the beauty that’s around you, Open your heart to loved ones who surround you, Open your mind to life’s many wonders, And be true to yourself as you ponder.
Thanks for being such a prestigious friend. ^v^ May good fortune befall you and yours. ^v^
Love and blessings, Equal Exchange, from:
