about grace farms

ethical and sustainable sourcing

Humanity and our planet are at a critical point in which our consumption as humans will dictate our future. We are committed to protecting human rights and our planet through ethical and sustainable sourcing of our ingredients and manufacturing our products.

Ethical sourcing refers to the protection of workers' rights in the procurement of ingredients used in our products. We believe that all worker's have the freedom to be employed without coercion and deserve fair wages. Ingredients like cocoa, sugar, herbs, and coffee are particularly at-risk of forced and child labor, which is why we are focused on proving that these ingredients can be ethically sourced.

Sustainable sourcing refers to protecting the environment from unnecessary harm through the growing and harvesting of our ingredients. It has been proven that sustainable agriculture not only leads to higher quality yields, but also more resilient ones that combat climate change.

While no supply chain of at-risk ingredients is 100% guaranteed to not include child or forced labor, we have removed any reasonable doubt that our ingredient sourcing contributes to forced labor.

We have partnered with both Fairtrade America and Fair Trade USA and work with values-aligned importers to ensure that our at-risk ingredients are certified by third party auditors to protect worker's rights.

When possible, we also source organic ingredients that reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, source shade-grown coffee, and farmers that practice agro-forestry.

We have carefully chosen compostable and biodegradable packaging when possible. For example, we have sourced post-consumer recycled plastics and FSC certified paper products for our cookie packaging.
