Maybe you're nearby and in need of some good fair trade coffee?
Can you guess where we are?
The Basics: Born out of a passion for social justice in Latin America, Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-op "are a worker co-operative that contributes to a sane world where peoples' needs and the wellbeing of our planet are put before greed." Just Us! partners with coffee co-operatives in Latin America to purchase coffee at a fair price. They operate at 6 locations throughout Nova Scotia from a delightful two-story cafe on Spring Garden Road to a Coffee Roastery and office at the Grand Pre cafe location.
Our efforts are focused on small-scale sustainable agriculture working towards healthy communities and a healthy world. Through our fair trade products and education, we promote awareness on development and trade issues, always looking for a way to be a vehicle for change...Basically, our mission is: People and the Planet before Profits
WHY WE LOVE JUST US!:
In addition to their great coffee, they run a variety of social projects...
Their well-defined and transparent values
The homey feel we get at their cafe...plus there's everything from chocolate to oat cakes to COFFEE (of course!)...what's not to love??
