Wholesome Sweeteners, the nation's leader in Fair Trade Certified(TM) organic and natural sweeteners, has introduced the first-ever Fair Trade Certified Organic Honey in the U.S. market. The company also announced that its Fair Trade programs have netted more than $1 million in additional revenues for its Fair Trade Certified partners, supporting their efforts to earn a living wage. The honeys are collected traditionally by Mayan beekeepers in Chiapas and the Yucatan, Mexico.
