Frontier Co-op is dedicated to ensuring the long-term sustainability of our supply chain through investments in our smallholder farmer partners, centering their needs to help ensure resiliency in the face of challenges associated with climate change, climate-related natural disasters, and the ever-evolving geopolitical landscape; and supporting stability within those communities at origin.
At Frontier Co-op, we’re not just committed to organic agriculture; we’re dedicated to fostering a world where both people and the planet can thrive. Beyond organic, we’ve always been committed to treating our sourcing partners with fairness and integrity. In 2009, we became among the first to sell Fair Trade Certified™ spices, herbs and flavorings at retail in the US.
