While in Portland, Oregon, the OrganicNation.tv crew stopped at Ladybug Organic Coffee Company, where owner Angel O’Brien made us her signature “Ladybug Latte” and took us to back to her “garbage” room, which is really a place to sort recycling and compost.

I have just become familiar with the remarkable DOI CHAANG coffee from Thailand (thank you Robert) which is not only top quality but pays the people twice Fairtrade prices and gave the Akha people 50% of the Canadian company..P.Pachecos, Calgary Alberta
The King of Thailand presented the hilltribes with agricultural alternatives to opium growing, including coffee plants. One indigenous tribe known as the Akha was the beneficiary of this scheme. A Canadian chose to back the Akha people 100% in this venture.Thanks to to his generosity in giving the growers a 50% share in the Canadian company, ‘Fair Trade’ has since evolved into ‘Beyond Fair Trade’–a noteworthy business model to emulate in terms of sustainability and sound ethics-P.
