Giving buying power back to the women of Soppexcca co-op. [04:04]
Far from the fields and coffee farms, the women of Soppexcca cooperative work long, hard hours sorting coffee beans at the mill. Most walk the road to work, which leaves only a few evening hours to shop for family necessities along their commute. As a result, the women routinely buy food and goods from roadside vendors in small quantities and at high prices - a transaction of circumstance that keeps them in debt. In 2010 with funds from our Fair to Farmer Direct program the women opened a mercado (translation: a market or store) just steps away from the sorting mill. Here, off the streets and in a safe environment the women can buy what they need at a manageable price.

Visiting a Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua [01:00]
August 4th, 2008 If you are ever caught short of cigars then the place to visit is a cigar factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Many Cubans have moved from Cuba to Estelí and they have either opened up restaurants with Cuban cuisine or they have flooded the town with cigar factories. If you need hands on training on how to make cigars then this is the place to start. When you see everything that is involved you will probably not mind spending the $1 for these handcrafted beauties.
