Fair Trade coffee roasters in Minnesota

12 roasters are known for fair trade coffee in Minnesota — in Brooklyn Center, Chanhassen, East Grand Forks, Fergus Falls and 5 more cities. A roastery visit beats an online order: taste it brewed properly, ask what's roasting this week, and walk out with beans days off the roaster instead of months off a shelf.

Specialty tags come from each roaster's own website and menus, plus customer reviews; offerings rotate, so check current menus before a special trip.
