About This Product
The Social Cooperative Enterprise Terra Verde (Green Earth) is a collective of people offering an alternative trade model with respect for the environment, society, and humanity.
Its members share the idea of fair and ethical production and distribution of products, guided by solidarity, equality, and the protection of nature.
Terra Verde has been active since 2009 and today operates two stores on Tsouderon Street in the center of Chania, offering selected food items, where people with disabilities work with the support of special educators and volunteers.
At the same time, a café and bookstore operate daily on the premises, offering coffee from Zapatista communities and books from small cooperative publishers. It also organizes numerous informational and social events related to the environment, society, and culture.
Terra Verde is not just a store. It is a living cell that strives for fairer working conditions free from multinational exploitation, highlights the history, geography, and labor of producers, supports movement-based actions, and includes people with disabilities in employment.
