At JBC Roasters we
are committed to developing relationships with the very people that
grow and care for our quality products. First, we support Fair Trade
certification. Some roasters freely use the term Fair Trade, but are
not certified and have no third party assurance that the money is
getting back to the farmers to be used for social programs and crop
improvement. See our coffee selection now..
We certify our coffees with TransFair USA www.transfairusa.org
the only third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the United
States. TransFair USA provides numerous educational campaigns and
works tirelessly to promote Fair Trade products.
JBC Roasters has traveled the globe to develop a
number of direct relationships with farmers. The result is our Relationship
Coffees. Most recently, we have befriended the eco-friendly
Hartmann family and pay above and beyond fair trade prices for their
unique coffee. They have used these social premiums for upgrading
their facilities and increasing wages to laborers.

Most importantly, we
strongly believe, along with others leading the industry, that supporting
quality is the most sustainable way to support the farmer. Farmers
who do not have the means or knowledge to create quality crops year-afteryear
are not afforded a sustainable way of life.
We support programs, like Alliance for Coffee Excellence
and Ecafe, which provide programs and training in order to help farmers
improve the quality of their coffee. Award winning coffees chosen
by both organizations in global competitions have brought premiums
to farmers that vastly surpass Fair Trade prices.
