About The Nutty Farmer

Hi, I'm Fréderic from The Nutty Farmer! With the 100% fair trade cashew nuts from our farmers' cooperatives in Burkina Faso, we make (h) delicious products with a nice story. By the way, did you know that part of our proceeds go back to the farmers' cooperatives through our Nutty Farmer projects? How do we make the distinction? 🌎 We have a social purpose! We consciously choose to work under the Fairtrade label because we want to highlight the issues in the cashew industry! The problems are similar to those in the cocoa industry: child labor, unsafe working conditions for women in the cashew factories, extreme poverty that often prevents children from going to school,... Together with the Belgian & African Fair Trade Federation, we try to support farmers in Burkina Faso by buying directly from them under fair trade standards. But let's go one step further! We recently started a project where we will build a water tower in the farming community in Burkina Faso. This is how we give back part of our profits to the local community in Burkina! 🔥 We opt for adventurous flavors without greasy hands! Think pomegranate with cumin, pepper and thyme or dark chocolate with orange and chilli! In addition, the nuts are roasted in the oven and not fried, so you don't have greasy hands! 🖐️ Local roots: Although we work with farmers from Africa, the production itself takes place in our nut workshop in Zwevegem.
