Woven into many of Sister City relationships are 'sisters' working in the North to promote the goods created by co-operatives in our sistered communities in El Salvador.  Such co-operatives are a natural part of daily life in the organized communities of CRIPDES, part of an economic model that strengthens community life and local economies.  In turn, sale of community products in the United States offers an opportunity for education about the realities of trade policies, immigration, and community development.  More information on local fair trade initiatives across the United States, and to see products…
 

Salvadoran Juan Charcon Coffee

ImageCafé Juan Chacón is hand-picked and processed along the cool pine-shaded slopes of the Chalatenango province of El Salvador, near the Honduras border. It arrives in your cup through a special collaboration among MOFGA, the Madison, Wisconsin-based Just Coffee, and the farming families of the Ereguán Coffee Collective.

The producers of Café Chacón have organized a cooperative of coffee growers and processors who are building community based on an economic model of mutual solidarity. When you drink Café Chacón you join with them in building this solidarity. Café Chacón is carefully grown without the use of pesticides on family-sized plots 1000 meters above sea level. These conditions assure premium taste, an equitable economy for coffee growers, and ecological sustainability.
