About Me:

The Source was founded to connect indigenous small-scale farmers and ethical conscious consumers. We aim to educate consumers on making ethical choices. We live in a world where today we can make a choice between what is ethical and what pressures people into poverty. We envision a world where producers of goods are paid the real value of their crops; a world wide community in which we can buy our goods directly from a global market rather than through a commodity day trader on Wall Street.

About My Company:

Our mission is to give small-scale indigenous farmers worldwide a platform to rise out of poverty and directly connect to the consumers who value their hard work. We accomplish this by purchasing our raw materials directly from the farmer and paying better than fair trade prices. We also donate a percentage of any profits made to our non-profit arm which accumulates these profits for a micro-loan fund to finance small-scale farmers to improve their farms and overall quality of life.
