Social Impact
Social Impact & Special AchievementsInterrupcion FairTrade is working directly with Arroyo Fresco, a tiny family-owned and run honey operation. They have only one regular employee who is not part of the family. Interrupcion* works with Arroyo Fresco not only because of the high quality of their product, but because they believe FairTrade and access to international markets is important in guaranteeing the long-term growth and survival for small companies that are playing an integral role in fueling Argentina´s economic recovery.
Arroyo Fresco demonstrates great care and pride in their production and work together closely as family production unit. FairTrade will enable this small production unit to invest in their community and responsible business practices.
