Northumberland Fair is Fair Trade Group
The Northumberland Fair is Fair Trade Group registered as a not-for-profit in 2008 with the goal of opening a fair trade store in Northumberland County. Since August 2009, it has successfully operated a fair trade store in downtown Cobourg, ON.
In accordance with the organization's bylaws, its mission is to:
- operate an environmentally-responsible store in Northumberland County for the sale of handicrafts of a variety of artisans in developing nations on a cost-recovery basis.
- promote the enhancement of local understanding of the people and issues affecting developing countries, such as fair income and poverty, through seminars and exhibitions
In addition to oversight of the store, the organization also oversees the Rodger Henderson Memorial Scholarship for local high school students.
Level Ground Roasters will cease production of the 1lb "Ten Thousand VIllages" coffee bags starting March 1st. We will then sell their own 300g bag label for $11.50 per bag. It's still the same coffee, but there will be some different options to choose from, and a particular bean and roast that you enjoy now may no longer be available.
We have created this helpful graphic chart to let you look through the changes. Level Ground has provided suggestions for which coffee you should migrate to once the large bags are gone. We expect the large bags will sell through by mid-March.
We hope customers will enjoy the opporunity to try Level Ground's great coffee all over again, particularly some of the new bean blends.
