 | | In this issue... Spring is a busy season for both coffee and Fair Trade...which makes it extra busy for CoopCoffees and Company! Between the SCAA, a number of producer tours and World Fair Trade Day... our members, partners and friends had more logistics to plan and events to attend than they knew what to do with!

Spring 2009 is shaping up to be a busy and fulfilling season for Fair Trade! We hope you can join in on the fun! Enjoy your read! |
 | | In this issue... For us in the North.. days are getting longer, the sun is getting warmer, and the grass is getting greener as Winter takes a break - making way for Spring to open its door on cabin fever. But for folks in Specialty Coffee, Spring means more than just warm weather. It evokes memories of and expectation for the largest coffee exposition of the year: the grand SCAA! This year is particularly special as CC launches into its 10th year of producer partner relationships. This month's news also reminds us of the hard work and challenges that are behind every cup of coffee. Enjoy your read (and the Spring!)! |
 | | In this issue... Despite the cold, gray weather common at this time of year (at least for many of us "up North"), the flurry of activity in January -- and the election of a promising, new US President -- has kept our spirits and our expectations high! It has also kept our agendas busy. Fun and fruitful trips, bright new relationships, and thoughtful consideration of what is to come -- this month's newsletter is worth checking out! So settle in, grab a steamy cup of Fair Trade coffee and - as always: Enjoy your read! |

Enjoy your read! |
