Today’s freebie’s an eco-ethical foodie’s dream: A $50 gift certificate to the fair trade company Equal Exchange’s online store!
Whether you need Organic Tamari Roasted Almonds grown in small U.S. farms, or organic fair trade tea pyramid tea, or organic fair trade hot chocolate with a spicy kick, you can find it at the Equal Exchange store.
My favorite Equal Exchange item’s of course the organic, fair trade Ethiopian coffee — but the chocolate bars come in a close second. If you want to use the gift certificate to send a gift, check out the Chocolate & Coffee Pairing Gift Bag (photo above) — four organic fair trade chocolate bars, 2 25-tea-bag boxes of green tea, and a tin of Organic Ceylon Green Loose Leaf Tea! The basket costs $35 plus $7.50 shipping — which means the whole thing will cost you only $2.50 after the gift certificate.
Equal Exchange is an uber-ethical, co-op owned company that’s also one of the pioneers of the fair trade movement in the U.S. The environmentally conscious company even has a Green Planet Fund that seeks to promote sustainable farming practices of small-scale producers as a means of environmental conservation.
