[va-richmond-general] Re: Shade-Grown Coffee Info on RAS Website

You're right about Green Mountain -- their mission is more about supporting
fair trade for farmers, but there is a statement on their coffee and on
their website that MOST of their coffee is shade-grown.  There's just no
guarantee that every bean in your bag is from a shade-growing farm.  I
looked at Ellwood today though, and they have 2 other brands totally devoted
to shade-grown coffee.  I'll try to take a look at Good Foods in the next
couple of days.
