Fairtrade goes to the Electric Picnic

Well, no sooner does the curtain come down on Greenbelt, than its time to erect a few tent poles just outside Dublin for this week's Electric Picnic. Amnesty International are just about to re-open their offices in Dublin, with a Fairtrade Cafe on the premises, and at the festival they will be running a 24 hour a day bingo session. Prizes every half an hour, and Fairtrade coffee and Wish4 muffins and snacks to go with them. The organisers are keen to promote Fairtrade and every year the majority of traders support this, and that's good news.

This week also sees the launch by DBC Foodservice in UK of the new Wish4 Fairtrade muffins and snack bars. Good news for lots of catering outlets across the land. Falmouth University is one group we know will be pleased about that.

We also continue to develop direct fairtrade supplier relationships a particualr African company in the biscuit and confectionery business. The biscuits are a bit dry all right, but the boiled sweets and toffees are looking good.

Greenbelt Festival - Fairtrade Muffins in demand

This year the Christian Aid cafe at the annual Greenbelt Festival was host to Wish4 Fairtrade. A year ago Wish4 was still a dream, and we were at the festival as volunteers, learning just what a great festival it is. This year we're back as purveyors of the only Fairtrade muffins and hand baked, all natural snack bars on site. And with 20,000 festival goers to satisfy from dawn to dusk, its a great place to do a bit of market research. Clearly our chocolate and blueberry muffins are the stars of our modest show.
Great moments at the festival include the 'beer and hymns' session, about which some people had been wondering 'what is it really about ?'....to which the organisers....who contemplated the question for many hours.....were able to reply:- 'well....when you home in on its possible spiritual significance, and philosophical meaning, its best summed up as a time spent.....drinking beer........and......er.....er.......singing.....hymns ??!!'
