Development & Education

JUDES (Just Us! Development & Education Society)

JUDES was set up in 2005 to provide an arms length non-profit organization to promote Fair Trade education and development.
It started out with the idea of promoting Fair Trade as a model for third world development but quickly found the line pretty blurry between issues facing small scale producers in the third world and local farmers or small business people.
JUDES has created a wonderful Fair Trade Museum attached to the Just Us! Café in Grand Pre. They are just getting going and promise to make a real contribution to Conscious Consumerism and Responsible Development.

JUDES is a non-profit organization striving to create educational resources and opportunities to increase public awareness concerning; a) social and environmental issues related to international development and, b) the benefits of fair trade.
JUDES works with other fair trade and development organizations to promote equitable and sustainable development. Visit our Fair Trade Coffee Museum to learn more about Fair Trade Coffee, through interactive displays. Admission is free. The museum is located at our Just Us! Coffeehouse and Roastery in Grand Pré. Take Hwy 101 to Exit 10, Hwy #1. Just Us! is located just off of Exit 10.

Be a Conscious Consumer

Read the labels of the things you buy! Learn more about where your favourite products are made and how. Buy fair trade, organic coffee, or other fair trade products. Look for the Transfair logo to make sure it is certified Fair Trade.
Speak to your local coffee shop or store manager. Find out if they carry fair trade products. If they do not, explain the concept and benefits of fair trade, including the fact that it makes good business sense! Make sure you have your facts in order, and the names and phone numbers of fair trade suppliers.
