Chiapas, Mexico

On February 11th, Equator Coffee Roasters dispatched one of its own to join a Fair Trade Delegation trip to Chiapas, Mexico.

Sent packing with a sleeping bag, a few changes of clothes and four bags of fresh roasted coffee, Corrie flew on down to the Mexico's southernmost state. Her hosts were Chris and Jody from Higher Grounds Trading Company as representatives of Co-operative Coffees in Americus, Georgia.

The purpose of the delegation was to visit a coffee cooperative and explore the coffee industry in that country. To fully understand the marketplace, she would study the political, social and economic environment in Chiapas, Mexico.

Check back for pictures and posts about her trip.
