Wake Up to Fair Traded Coffee

We know that it all begins with the farmers, with their knowledge, dedication and inventiveness – and we believe in strengthening that foundation. That’s why the Presbyterian Coffee Project supports the efforts of Equal Exchange to build long-term, mutually beneficial trade partnerships with small-scale farmer co-operatives. We know our farmer partners and they know us, creating an atmosphere of trust and transparency: they trust our investment in and support for their livelihoods, and we trust them to uphold our high standards for quality and consistency.

Relationships with Equal Exchange farmer partners differ from what is seen on conventional markets. EE offers pre-harvest credit and financing to support farmers during off seasons, and Fair Trade premiums provide funding for projects like new schools, roads, clean water, healthcare or agricultural equipment – the makings of healthier, stronger and more sustainable communities

By enjoying Equal Exchange products you join a movement to support small-scale farmers. St. Andrews places orders for coffee and tea four times each year, February, May, August and November. Find order forms in the Narthex or request an electronic copy from Mary Evans, tmevans@bellsouth.net. Place orders by May 11 and it will be ready for pick up Memorial Day weekend.
