Fair Trade and Eating Locally
On our San Francisco tours we emphasize foods that are seasonal and local. Some foods are not grown here, like coffee. There is currently an excess of coffee in the world. The result is that the coffee growers are being pressured to lower their prices. The other result is that coffee growers may not be able to make enough money to feed themselves. On the fun things to do in San Francisco is to enjoy coffee. We find that we enjoy coffee even more when it is fair trade coffee. Fair trade coffee is coffee that the grower makes enough money to feed themselves. On our San Francisco tours, we are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we deal with benefits from what we do. Fair trade coffee ensures the people growing your coffee benefits, as well.

Thanks for sticking up for fair trade. And remember, fair trade doesn't just mean a fair price for the farmer. It means that the coffee was grown using environmentally sustainable practices, as well.
