Fair Trade Certification Issues

Posted by ben at about 6pm on Monday September 25, 2006

Check out this article on Dean of Dean's Beans leaving TransFair USA (a Fair Trade certifier) a few years ago due to unresolved issues: Blurb on green LA girl. Dean's Beans is a part of our green coffee importing Co-op (Cooperative Coffees). Just Coffee was one of the roasters within Cooperative Coffees that split TFUSA at the same time as Dean's Beans. Unfortunately, the issues that led to the split continue to be unresolved. Recently however, there are some indications that TFUSA is moving in the right direction.

You guys should show the dialogue that is taking place in relation to your blog postings. I don't know how but your web guys could figure that one out. Just a thought. It is fun to see other people's thoughts.

MJB,

Right! Since we have launched the site we have had a few "inappropriate" comments, so we felt we needed to approve comments before we post. We may revisit this "policy", as most of them were actually quite funny, however potentially offensive to some. We don't have a full time administrator to either post comments that come in after review. Or, if comments were to post immediately and have questionable content someone may not notice for a while and it would be live on the site. So, we are still working it out. At any rate, thanks for the comment!

Automatic Comment Publishing

Folks,

We have added an "anti-comment spam" filter to our site. So, when people submit a comment they will be screened automatically and published to the site immediately- rather than going to a moderation queue where a human can review first. You'll be happy to know that your comments will post to the site and you'll be able to see them right away. We expect this will encourage even more dialog with ya'll.

Thanks!

Ben
