La Siembra Co-op is a leading North American fair trade organization offering consumers high-quality, certified fair trade organic products that improve the livelihoods of family farmers and the well being of communities at home and abroad. Incorporated in 1999, La Siembra is the first organization to import, manufacture and distribute fair trade certified organic chocolate, cocoa and sugar products in North America. La Siembra’s Cocoa Camino product line is sold throughout Canada.
La Siembra’s Fair Trade certification guarantees consumers that farmers receive higher than world market prices. This includes the payment of organic and social premiums that are used for development programs, decided on by the producer co-op members.
La Siembra’s Organic cocoa and sugar cane certification means better health for farmers, the environment, and the consumer. La Siembra’s cocoa is produced using traditional Shade Grown techniques that preserve the environment and maintain bio-diversity while providing a much-needed habitat for migratory birds.
La Siembra sources cocoa from co-operatives of family farms who grow organically under a shade canopy in the rainforests of the Dominican Republic, Peru and Panama.
