Welcome to Farmer First, a logo created by coffee roasters and like-minded importers, defining whom and what Fairly Traded is truly all about. With this logo we are showing that coffee farmers and their families encourage sustainable farming practices.
Farmer First coffees are purchased from long-established cooperatives, family farms and ethical importers who share our concern for social and environmental issues. Many of these coffees are purchased from cooperatives listed on the FLO (Fair Trade Labeling Organization) Register.
Farmer First coffees are all grown under a shade canopy, supporting hundreds of species of birds and wildlife. Organic and bird friendly certifications are important factors in increasing the price farmers are able to get for their coffee.
Fair trade is a state of mind, the intent to create beneficial trading relationships with disadvantaged coffee farmers. It is not a set of rules that can be determined and written down. Farmer First seeks to establish and strengthen supportive and cooperative bond between trading partners.
