Whole Trade for a Whole Planet

All throughout February, Whole Foods markets around the country will celebrate Whole Trade month. The program promotes fairly traded goods, which in turn provides fair wages & good working conditions to small farmers & manufacturers around the world.

Underprivileged communities are given opportunities for profit-sharing, receive educational benefits, and allow employees to be promoted within companies & grow within their communities.

Fair Trade
items are becoming increasingly more available in natural/health-oriented markets, and are sold at prices very comparable to their conventional counterparts. The most common products include coffee, tea, wine, and even chocolate & body care items. You can even enter to win a year's worth of Whole Trade flowers by visiting the Whole Foods website here.

If you're in the Los Angeles area, you can also find our Fair Trade certified Green Tea Mints & Bars in Whole Foods...be sure to ask for them!!~~
No Whole Foods in your area? You can still enjoy some SEN CHA Green Tea Mints & Bars by purchasing them through our website, found here.
