Supporting Innovative Economies this Valentine's Day

Looking for a unique way to spread the love this year — but still want to satisfy your sweet tooth? By supporting UUSC's partner the Southern Alternatives Agricultural Cooperative (SAAC), you're helping create a new economic future for this unique pecan-processing cooperative owned and operated by African-American women in Georgia. Plus, supporting them means ordering and enjoying their delicious pecan candies!

If you didn't get a chance to indulge during the winter holidays, or if you just can't get enough of those double-dipped chocolate pecans, purchase some in our store. 

At this point in SAAC's growth as a co-op, they are unable to manufacture their own candies, but it is one of their goals to create their own goodies with fairly traded ingredients — and your support will help get them to a place where they can!
