Mountain Rose Herbs Offers Fair Trade Certified Herbs!

Fair Trade Month 2006Mountain Rose Herbs is proud to be the first market supplier of Fair Trade certified medicinal herbs within the United States!  We have been working closely with TransFair USA in order to bring fair trade certified herbs into the U.S., and have finally been able to accomplish this goal.

Fair Trade is a special partnership between tea growers, tea pickers, tea traders, and tea drinkers.  Fair trade means that specific standards for wages, living conditions, and living conditions are met.  Plus, for every fair trade purchase, a portion goes directly back to the workers who decide how to best utilize the funds to benefit their community.  These funds have been used for schools, health clinics, electricity, and to bring other basic needs into villages.  In addition the farms are required to use environmentally sound practices.  This benefits the worker’s health, maintains the soil, and it helps to protect the environment on a global scale.  Purchasing Fair Trade certified products is a great way to show your support for worker rights and the environment.
