Our Coffee Project Partner: Equal Exchange
Equal Exchange’s Red Coffee Roaster
Equal Exchange is a worker-owned cooperative based out of West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Their mission is to:
“build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and consumers and to demonstrate, through our success, the contribution of worker co-operatives and Fair Trade to a more equitable, democratic and sustainable world.”
Equal Exchange handles all the ordering, billing and fulfillment of your order from the LWR Coffee Project.
Equal Exchange donates $.20 to LWR’s Small Farmer Fund for each pound of Fair Trade coffee, chocolate, tea, cocoa, sugar and snacks you order through the LWR Coffee Project.
