We're currently using organic dillanos. I want to use Counter Culture or Higher Grounds, both fairly local roasters that are fair trade and organic. I manage the shop by myself, the corporate office for the company is 3 hours away... they want the costs to be low, so they want to keep using cheaper product. How can I convince them that fair trade is worth the extra expense? (More background to help my case, we're located in the downtown district of a college town, DIRECTLY across from the University. The ARTS department, actually.) Any advice for my fight?
