Empowering Our Workforce To Build Their Communities

There are a lot of questions and confusion about Fair Trade practices: what that means, how the premiums are used and if they really help the workers. At Wholesum Harvest, we’ve witnessed firsthand the communities our workers have created for themselves;

With just five years of Fair Trade premiums, our communities have:

• Built a family park
• Bought school buses
• Built a nonprofit grocery store
• Built a tortilla factory
• Built laundry facilities, with an attendant
• Built a soccer field that is used every day
• Created 13 non-farm jobs
• Created specialty health care and orthodontic vouchers
• Given out zero-interest home loans and zero-interest land loans
• Made sure elementary school kids have breakfast and lunch
• Donated to the Red Cross to help hurricane victims
• Built a community center
