All Kitchen Garden products are Trade Aid associated. We buy finished goods from our producers not just commodities- this has a knock on effect for local glass jar, bag, box and label manufacturers as well as labour in the packing factory, and generates employment as well as improving the skills base in a currently economy which badly needs both.

The producer follows guidelines laid down by European Trade Aid organisations, and is dedicated to the goals of organic production under favourable working conditions offering meaningful employment. Worker participation in management decisions, above average salaries, equal pay for men & women, protective clothing, housing if required on the farms, a pension scheme and in-house training are just some of the worker benefits.

The company gives employment priority to the post-school leaver population, resident on the farm, so that the family unit is maintained. If further labour is required it is recruited from nearby communities instead of using migrant labour.
