FairTradeBananas vs EthicalChoice | Murray Lloyd Photography

Fair Trade Bananas

I was surprised to see All Good Organics Fair Trade Bananas right at the entrance of one of my grocery suppliers recently.

I thought the move may have resulted from the stoush between the owners of the Fair Trade bananas – New Zealand’s All Good Bananas, and Dole’s Ethical Choice brand. However Chris, the fresh produce manager at the supermarket, said the move was because of a special they were running. Either way it was good to see they sold a lot more Fair Trade bananas from the new location.

To avoid any confusion this is the All Good Bananas Fair Trade brand

I wonder if they are using Fair Trade bananas on Sesame Street

Mad Hatters Tea Party in Wool | Murray Lloyd Photography

The inedible food at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party seemed very un-birthday partyish but after being served free tea and Kiwiana themed biscuits the mood became more festive. Although surrounded by tea cosies rather than mad hats this exhibition at the Kapiti Art Gallery resonated well with events on the other side of the world.
