5,825 pounds of local purple daikon radish and carrots were donated this past week to the Greater Boston Food Bank.
It was only through a collective effort that we were able to facilitate this donation.
Thank you to our customers that participated in our "Donate a Box" drive as well as our farm partners - Atlas Farms and Winter Moon Farm. Both farms heavily discounted their roots allowing us to put together our largest donation to date! We also have to thank Myers Produce - one of our distributors that delivered Winter Moon's carrots to the food bank at no charge.

In this post we explore the history, why all Fair Trade labels are not the same, and why business pioneers in the movement like Equal Exchange and Deans Beans are focusing less on labels and more on business transparency.
