National Fair Trade Weeks

From May 1 to May 15 were the National Fair Tradeⁱ Weeks. The May issue of the Common Ground magazine has an article about this event and they present a list of local companies that are contributing to the fair trade market development.

Almost all companies mentioned by Commond Ground are in the organic food sector. Two thumbs up for all of them!

Here is the list of these companies:

• Capers Community Markets
• La Siembra Cooperative - the makers of Cocoa Camino
• Level Ground Trading
• Pro Organics
• Ethicat Beans
• Kicking Horse Coffee
• Salt Spring Roasting Company
