Meet our farmers

OUR FARMS. OUR FAMILIES.
OUR COMMUNITIES.

Canaan believes that Fair Trade is about connecting people across the globe in a spirit of equity, trust and openness.  Canaan has embarked on a three year project to interview and photograph members of all the over 50 PFTA cooperatives, both farmer and women's cooperatives, that we partner with.  Below are just a few of those profiles. We hope you enjoy meeting our farmers.
