Description:

Hello, to start the new year off on a greener foot, I thought we might do a swap around sustainble and/or fair trade foods (including but not limited to coffee, tea, chocolate, wild rice). Obviously we are limited to what we can safely and legally send through the us postal system. For those of you who are not familiar with the Fair Trade movement you can find out more about it here: http://www.fairtrade.net/

Also, in case your local grocery does not carry fairtrade products, here are some links of online purveyors.

Now for the rules. Due to the high rate of postage, this swap is onlyopen to those living in the US --I encourage EU-ers and others to run another swap like this. We will each have one partner. Please plan to spend between 10- 15 USD on your items. Depending on what you buy, you may send one or more items.

This swap is open to seasoned swappers who have completed at least ten swaps and have maintained a record of no, no sends.

Thanks for your interest in the swap. Please feel free to PM me with questions.

hugs, Mapps

No coffee for me either, please, and no peanuts (traces are fine, I just don't like the taste).

I have no preferences. Thanks to all above for joining the swap. Please note, that while you are free to accommodate the preferences of your swap partners, it is not required. Partners are assigned randomly, and isn't it part of the fun to be surprised?

Happy Swapping!
