Fair Trade Coffee

“Direct trade- there is no other way.  That is our mission. One product at a time, one relationship at a time, one new customer at a time.”
—Martha Bowen, Latin Organics Coffee

Martha Bowen, the owner and CEO of Latin Organics Coffee, 1326 East Hastings Street in Vancouver. has recently returned from her latest buying trip to Columbia. On her blog she shares how her company is making a difference for the people of Columbia by avoiding the middle-man coffee brokers and trading directly with local producers. Martha, who is from Columbia herself, knows what it takes to make a difference for the people of Columbia who live in a beautiful country, but deal with much socio-economic and political unrest.

Look for an opportunity this fall to attend a Slow Food Vancouver Tasting Event where Latin Organics, and other local coffee companies, are making a difference to be ‘good, clean, & fair’ in the coffee business. Read the full story on Martha’s blog.
