Did you know that October is National Fair Trade month?
Not sure what Fair Trade is? Fair Trade means that farmers and workers are justly compensated for their harvest, allowing them to invest back into their farms and communities. By establishing Fair Trade prices farmers are able to practice sustainable growing techniques and are supported in learning new skills that will preserve their land for generations to come and create safe working conditions . It means helping workers and helping families improve their standard of living, keep their kids in school, and strengthen their local communities and economies.
With Fair Trade, the money you spend on day-to-day goods can improve an entire community’s day-to-day lives. For more than a decade, Green Mountain Coffee® has been a leader in the fair trade movement, providing a better cup of coffee to consumers and a better quality of life for coffee farmers.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters® commitment to Fair Trade makes me proud to be apart of their team as a K-cup Ambassador.

I just started using my Keurig…. Green Mountain coffee is my favorite so gfar, though… I used the last Kcup today and can’t remember the name, other than it was Green Mountain.
I sure do love Pumpkin Spice any time of the year, but most especially in the fall!
Morning blend!
I love the Donut Shop coffees and Tully’s Hawaian blends the best. I love my Keurig and the chance it gives me to try other flavors. The mini brewer would be perfect for work! Thanks for the give away.
I’m not a coffee drinker, but I’d love a keurig for some hot tea and cocoa!
I love the Dark Magic and Pumpkin Spice!! I absolutely love the Clemson orange Keurig!
Pumpkin Spice is my all-time favorite; I can’t get enough pumpkin-flavored beverages during this season. I LOVE the ILLINI orange & pumpkin orange Keurig.

Oh no! I feel like Charlie Bucket when his teacher asks him how many Wonka Bars he has eaten to find the Golden Ticket…Um…I have never tried any of the flavors OR tried any of the K-cups at all. But, if they are as yummy as everyone says they are I am sure I’d love any of the flavors!
