Salt Spring Coffee
Available in most chain grocery stores, this coffee is produced under Salt Spring’s own “Fair to Farmer Direct” philosophy, which involves paying a minimum above the fair trade base price. The company has a boatload of certifications, including being a B Corporation (a for-benefit corporation) and bullfrog powered. However, like most bagged coffee, the beans are packaged in a non-recyclable bag.
