So you answered my question exactly!

I run a website called the Fair for All Shopping Guide (www.fairforallguide.com), which is a directory of ethical/fair trade online retailers. We look for retailers who clearly state their policies on child labor, fair wages, and several other criteria. I invite you to check it out!

Thanks for the kind words! We are glad you found our blog and are enjoying the recipes. This blog is sponsored by Lucuma Designs, a fair trade company working with artisans in Peru. I, Liz – the blog hostess, am the customer service director and marketing associate at Lucuma and try to post articles here. You are welcome to browse our archived posts, but is there something in particular you are wondering? Cheers!
Liz

Fruit is one item I haven’t transitioned to fair trade on yet in my own shopping, mostly because I hardly ever buy fruit to begin with, but it’s coming up on banana milkshake season… I may have to see what’s available near me. I hear tell that Whole Foods has fair trade bananas.

I just came upon your blog the other day, and I am enjoying it a lot so far! Can you tell me more about your involvement in fair trade?

Good luck with your project! There’s a great documentary called “The Dark Side of Chocolate” available at the Fair Trade Resource Network. You will find good information there and may have some success speaking directly to chocolate companies such as Divine Chocolate, Equal Exchange, Green & Black’s Organic, Theo, or Alter Eco. They have first-hand insight into what’s going on in the fields.
Cheers!
Liz
