„These roasts are part of a growing trend among consumers for products that contribute to global social and environmental improvements. They meet Millstone consumers' desires for excellent taste, and have been carefully chosen to meet Millstone's standard for using only the finest Arabica beans. The current coffee market often forces coffee-growing families to sell coffee at prices that are not high enough to meet their most basic necessities, such as food, education, and healthcare. Fair Trade Certification guarantees that these basic human needs are met.“

„Procter & Gamble, for example, recently rolled out a line of three coffees called the Millstone Signature Collection, each linked to a different nonprofit organization that promotes some aspect of "sustainability." The company says the idea behind the brand, which is currently sold only online, is to "give consumers a vote" in what social issues matter to them. It's all part of a move to cater to the growing niche of shoppers willing to spend more money for products that let them feel they are acting in a socially responsible fashion.“

"Three years ago we carried one Fair Trade coffee and now we carry 6 lines and are doing 2 to 3 times the level of business 3 years ago," said Karen Gordon the director of specialty green coffee for Coffee Holding Company in Brooklyn.“
