Equal Exchange has worked over the decades to build a nuts, dried fruits, and fair foods program that supports small farmers, and is a traceable alternative to commodity organic. Equal Exchange and our international partners are committed fair trade organizations that empower small farmer groups in the market. Domestically, we work with family farms committed to conservation, solar, integrated farm management, and reducing their carbon footprint.
As commodity organic has increased its share of bulk sets, it is important to note that these items don’t lend themselves to traceability or the empowerment of small producers and their democratic organizations. We believe it is in the interest of co-ops to support and offer an alternative that supports democracy and co-operative supply-chains, is transparently sourced, and is committed to protecting both people and the planet. That is where Equal Exchange and our farmer partners provide food co-ops with a national bulk program that is fully traceable.

Fair Trade Alliance Kerala (FTAK)
Organic Cashews
Founded in 2006 to address the challenges with inconsistent prices in the marketplace, Fair Trade Alliance Kerala is a group of 4,500 farmers from a Unesco Heritage site in the Western Ghats region of Kerala, Inida. Social premiums and community development project initiatives include school facilities, drinking water programs, elephant-friendly fencing to avoid crop damage, and sustainable weed management.
Gebana
Organic Cashews
Gebana is a Fair Trade organization that purchases organic mangoes and cashews from 17 different rural co-ops and associations in the South of Burkina Faso. Women serve as the majority of the workforce and Fair Trade social premiums have benefited the entire community through adult literacy classes, new water sources, bicycle purchases, and cereal banks. The cashews and mangoes are also processed in a factory that the co-op owns, which employs hundreds of local workers.
ACOPAGRO Co-op
Organic Chocolate Chips
Almost 2,000 cacao farmers from the San Martin region of Peru win national quality competitions, participate in reforestation and carbon capture, programs, and provide themselves with access to medical services like dental and eye care. Through values of “Solidarity and Trust”, Acopagro is advancing their cacao production, quality, and farm income through a grant project with Equal Exchange and USAID.
Burroughs Family Farms
Organic Almonds
The Burroughs Family Orchard is all-in on regenerative organic. When 80% of the global production of almonds come from California, and less than 1% of those almonds are grown organically, it takes a special farming family to lead by example on how to preserve soil and water for generations to come. Equal Exchange helped Burroughs transition their Almond acreage to organic in the 2010s, and since then they have not stopped in their pursuit of being the model for sustainable farm management all while being the standard bearer of good labor practices in the San Joaquin Valley.
New Communities
Pecans
New Communities is a grassroots organization that has worked for over 40 years to empower African American families in Southwest Georgia and to advocate for social justice. Born out of the Civil Rights Movement, New Communities was founded in 1969 as a farm collective to provide a safe haven for black farmers and became one of the original models for community land trusts in the United States.
Fillmore Farms
Organic Walnuts
Fillmore Farms is a woman-owned tenth generation family farm in California. Unique for their scale, they handle their own walnut processing, providing year-round employment for their core team.
The 230-acre orchard thrives under organic and common-sense farming practices, producing a clean, tasty, and healthful treat.
Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee
Medjool Dates
Our dates are grown by a farmer cooperative in the West Bank’s Jordan Valley in collaboration with the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC), which provides technical, processing, and exporting assistance.
PARC is a nonprofit that promotes the sustainable economic development of farmer cooperatives, helps to improve water supply and critical infrastructure, and provides social services for women, children, and families in the West Bank.
