If you cannot find it there, try looking online. You can find it almost anywhere, but try Trader Joe’s, Wild Oats, Whole Foods, and any natural grocer.

The coffee is grown by independent farmers instead of large multi-national conglomerates. The cost is only a little higher than what I normally buy, so it's not too big a deal. I would rather support the little farmer instead of shareholders of large corporations. Oh, and it tastes great and still gives me my caffeine fix. ;) Our church has fair trade coffee and I love it.

I think there were a couple of typos. If possible folks should look for organic, fair trade SHADE grown coffee. The shade trees filter carbon dioxide which causes global warming, and aid in soil moisture retention which minimizes erosion. It sustains rainforest habitat for birds and promotes greater biodiversity. Trader Joes sells "triple certified" coffee. If you don't see it at your favorite place to shop, ASK for it. If enough of us do, the stores will start stocking it. I just want to point out that folks should purchase FAIR trade not free trade. I think there were a couple of typos.
