Why Co-ops Matter
Like other co-ops, Bloomingfoods puts purpose before profit and acts in the longterm interest of its members and community. Shopping at Bloomingfoods supports a strong, sustainable community, local economy and healthy environment built through cooperation.
Why Fair Trade is Worth Fighting For
Fair Trade exists because regular trade often isn’t fair. Global markets are built on imbalances of power and sacrificing people and the planet for profit. Many smallholder farmers live on less than $2 a day. Fair Trade ensures that producers receive a decent standard of living, dignified working conditions and the resources to care for their communities and environment.
