The following was an email sent to us by Anna Canning from our Portland office where our first shipment of cashew nuts from the small farmer co-op, Aprainores in El Salvador arrived yesterday.
Shawn and Tyler sending our first shipment of cashew nuts to our customers!
Here are the first boxes of cashew nuts going to customers, sold by Rafael, and shipped by Tyler. Love the way the boxes all stand with small farmers–big change indeed!
The candid shot is unfortunately blurry, but it captures the pace things are moving around here today.
Small Farmers. Big Change. 
I remember doing research for EE on Central American small farmer cashews in the late 1980s. At that time, the quality was not sufficient for the US market. It is very thrilling to see these beautiful cashews arriving in the US. I can’t wait for them to reach Boston!
Hi Phyllis,
I would like to buy cashews directly from Equal Exchange for our small vegan food business, Boulder Vegans. I need a source for organic fair trade cashews and would love to partner with you! Please send me contact information. You can send it to my personal email, or info@bouldervegans.com. Thank you, Kerry B.
Thank you for the information you sent me Phyllis. We are very excited to have found this great source for cashews, and to be able to support such wonderful work! Unfortunately I seem to have lost the email, so are hoping you will be so kind as to resend it? Most gratefully, Kerry
