Our recipe book make’s a great stocking filler, especially along with some tasty @TrueOriginFood Fair Trade food products. It's just £2 & the proceeds go towards producer support projects like irrigation pumps for the growers of #FairTrade Kilombero Rice bit.ly/3UyaREl

Helping send a child in Malawi to school for a year is a great thing to do. That’s what the #90kgRiceChallenge can do. Great for #FairTrade groups & schools. Andy Tomison from @PKFairtrade speaks to schools on the difference it makes for farmer families tinyurl.com/38dwxhs4

Have you tried our Masala Bear Bead mix? A great stocking-filler. Goes great with a curry & some caramelised onions. Mix with yogurt to make a flatbread for lunch or main meal side. Ask for it at your local fair trade shop or order from our online store: tinyurl.com/4zuhd55e

Congrats to @stsilasglasgow on completing not one but 1 & a half #90kgRiceChallenge. Each Challenge provides enough support for a Kilombero Rice farmer in Malawi to send a child to school for a year. The rice bought was donated to Glasgow City Mission tinyurl.com/3pjxdhnx

Since Fairtrade Fortnight the memory of Malawian rice farmer Howard Msukwa’s visit is still vibrant. True Origin Partnerships Chair, Joyce Davidson was behind much of the organisation and she’s posted a blog reflecting on this very impactful experience tinyurl.com/59yt69by

We love this recipe idea from Barrett’s Ridge in South Africa who make our delicious & handy Beer Bread mixes. Why not have a go at some Savoury S’mores with the Garlic & Herb mix (we’re sold out of Olive & Rosemary), it’s just as good or another flavour. tinyurl.com/2p92kfa3

When does your day start? 8am? The farmers who produce our unique and award-winning #FairTrade Kilombero Rice in Malawi start at 3am. One of the interesting snippets of information gleaned from Howard Msukwa on his recent visit.
