One of FTLA’s very first events was a visit from JJ Keki and Seth Jonadev, two coffee farmers from the Mirembe Kawomera co-op in Uganda. In addition to the community benefits of organizing and producing FT coffee, the co-op brings together Jewish, Muslim, and Christian farmers. And Mirembe Kawomera? It means Delicious Peace.
Check out the video above, a sneak peek at an upcoming documentary on the co-op. And you can find Mirembe Kawomera coffee at Thanksgiving Coffee. (Plus look for more on both the film and the coffee at our Just Lives Festival coming September 30 to the Hollywood Farmers Market!)

If you wanna celebrate fair trade month, go grocery shopping at
Fair trade teas! You can get Choice bagged teas, or chilled bottles of Honest Tea in the refigerators.
Then there’s fair trade yerba mate from Eco Teas and Guyaki. I’m actually not a big fan of mate, but some people love it –
Pick up a couple bars of fair trade chocolate from
There’s also fair trade sugar, just below the fair trade cocoa.
In the bulk area, you can get fair trade, organic basmati rice, both white and brown.
