ALAFFIA. GOOD FOR YOU AND THE WORLD | " |
Jen Eldridge, HBC Manager, Says "Alaffia Shea Butter Products Are Not Only Good For You But Result In Good Vibes For Their Workers & The Environment!"
Fair Trade Shea Butter Products
"To Alaffia, fair trade means paying a fair price or wage in the local context, providing equal employment opportunities, engaging in environmental sustainable practices, providing healthy and safe working conditions, being open to public accountability, and reducing the number of middlemen between producers and consumers. They believe fair trade should be environmentally, economically and culturally sustainable and give local communities the opportunity to self empower."
Empowerment
Alaffia is a fair trade shea butter cooperative. The shea butter is produced by women in communities in West Africa, and participating in the cooperative allows them an economic opportunity using their traditional knowledge and skills. Alaffia is also focused on and involved in community development, including maternal care, education and reforestation projects. They aim to:
- "Improve current living standards and promote gender equality and feelings of self worth for individuals in our communities.
- Help break the cycle of poverty in Africa and preserve indigenous resources and knowledge for future generations
- Increase awareness of how individual actions and choices affect communities worldwide."
Fair trade means that Alaffia pays a fair wage to their producers, ensures safe working conditions, and strives to have a minimal environmental impact.

Jeremy's Pick:
Bell's Cherry Stout @ $16.99/12 Oz 6 Pack
Tinted ruby-black, Cherry Stout gains its signature tartness from 100% Montmorency cherries grown in Michigan's Traverse City region. Rather than doubling up on sweetness, this tart cherry varietal serves as a counterpoint to the warm, dark chocolate notes from the malt bill. Lightly hopped for balance, this stout is one of the cornerstones of the Bell's stout portfolio.
