At the EEFC, we believe in providing our community with honest information, quality products, and an ability to participate in the local food system through the cooperative model.  Our mission is to create a just marketplace that supports sustainable and cooperative economies . That includes sourcing FairTrade products.

When you buy products with the FAIRTRADE Mark, you are supporting farmers and workers as they work to improve their lives and their communities. When you see the Mark on a product, it means that the Fairtrade ingredients in the product have been produced by small-scale farmer organizations or plantations that meet Fairtrade social, economic and environmental standards. The standards include protection of workers’ rights and the environment, payment of the Fairtrade Minimum Price and an additional Fairtrade Premium to invest in business or community projects.
