With over 11,000 acres on 7 farms, we are the largest grower of Fair Trade Certified™ melons in Central America and the leading distributor in the U.S. and Canada. With every purchase of Fair Trade Certified™ melons, you directly contribute to programs that support the well-being of farm workers and their families.
Since 2014, your contributions have helped bring life-changing solutions to over 4,500 families by providing access to clean water, medical care and educational resources.
Fair Trade guarantees a fair price and quality-of-life improvement for the workers through a social premium fund. This premium is invested for the benefit of the workers, their families and their communities. They receive access to housing, access to credit, education and community development.
