When most people think of Fair Trade food, images of Fair Trade coffee and Fair Trade chocolate come to mind. While both images are correct and yummy, we are happy to report several other Fair Trade foods are available on the market – olive oil, rice, quinoa, sugar and even spices!

At Trade as One, we think a lot about ways we can help our customers make more of their everyday purchases Fair Trade. And, how much more “everyday” can we get then the food?

We have spent the past several months researching and tasting a variety of Fair Trade foods available in the U.S. (very stressful work, but someone has to do it). The result is a new program we are very excited to share with you called Hungry for Change. Hungry for Change is designed to give you a simple way to redirect your normal spending dollars to fairly traded food products on a monthly basis.

For $33 per month, a box full of consumables from Trade as One show up on your doorstep. The box will include 4-5 products as well as a monthly recipe, a producer story and an occasional product sample or freebie (like our Eco Grocery Bag or The Better World Shopping Guide). There are some amazing perks when you sign up for a 3-month trial. (See full program details).

Sign up now to be part of the October shipment.

You may already know this, but Trade as One does a lot of work with churches. We’ve partnered with hundreds of churches all over the country the past few years – churches who see their spending as an issue that is intimately connected to their faith. We’ve done dozens of weekend events, dozens more have showed our video and shared our message, and 20+ churches now carry Trade as One products on a regular basis.

In short, we love partnering with churches. We put together a new section of our website – http://tradeasone.com/churches - that is geared towards providing church leaders with a better understanding of the “how” and “why” we partner with churches. Take a look, and share it with any leaders who you think might enjoy connecting with us. Thanks.
