Rodney North and Equal Exchange have been providing alternative markets for food goods for small farmers across the world. Mariana Cotlear sits down with Rodney to talk about the true definition of fair trade, economics, and the history of Equal Exchange. Find out how the organization was founded around importing Nicaraguan coffee during the Reagan and Bush years despite a tight trade embargo. How does Equal Exchange circumvent "the middle man" to pay fair wages to producers and growers? Learn more about fair trade certification, and why certain certification measures will allow for plantation-grown crops to be labeled, despite a less-than-friendly market approach. This segment has been brought to you by Cain Vineyard & Winery.

This week on Beer Sessions Radio it's all about Vermont beers. Joining host Jimmy Carbone in the studio is Jay Steinhauer of American Beer and Todd Hardie of Caledonia Spirits. They talk about the rise of Vermont as a state that has become dominant in the craft beer world by being home to breweries such as Lawson's Finest, Shelton Brothers, Captain Lawrence, and McNeill's, all of whom are putting out award winning beers. Tune in as the Vermont brewmaster himself, Sam McNeill, calls in to talk about his very careful research and development in crafting his beers as well as enlightening us to what exactly a decoction mash is.
