It is an interesting idea, but because of the premiums that would be charged in order to get the clothing that would then be passed down to the customers I don’t think many would bite with such limited spending power. I would suggest waiting to the end of the economic recession at least.

(1) Must be vegan, so if the fruits are dipped in chocolate, the chocolate must be vegan.
(2) pesticide free and organic fruits.
(3) Preferably fair trade.

Try something from the Fruit Company, EcoExpress, or Cherry Moon Farms.
Harry & David also have an organic fruit basket.

I’m currently working on consuming my giant birthday gift of a Folgers tub, and a small can of typical Kroger brand.

What is something environmentally and ethically sound that you think I should try when I finish up with these?

I don’t have a coffee grinder unless a blender works, so whole bean may not work for me. My coffeemaker is an average Mr. Coffee machine.

Well its funny you say no Starbucks related answers, I would actually want to hear your feedback as to why you do not like us. Outside of our coffee prices which I myself when not an employee would touch, we are rated in the top 100 of most ethically sound companies in the world. Starbucks Fair Trade coffee which is our Cafe Estima blend, is made particularly from coffees grown in East Africa. The coffee is considered Fair Trade because whenever we buy the beans we pay top dollar for this coffee. The reason being is so that the farmers who own the conglomerates, coops, and what not are able to give back to their own farms. Having the ability to grow finer crop, giving their workers better health care, giving loans so that the farmers have the ability to buy more land in which to attain higher profits for themselves as well. Oh, if your talking also about ethical coffee, you should try our Organic Shade Grown Mexico. This is coffee that is grown specifically underneath the canopy trees so that the farmers have an easier time growing them. Along with being organic, no pesticides, the shade grown concept offers the ability for no pesticides at all. All the while this means that your coffee will taste great with some notes taken in from the forest around it. The acidity is a nice touch, but to be honest I like the complexity as you can taste a nutty and citrus taste all at the same time. So why do you not like Starbucks?

WordToTheWise – Whole Foods is a bit pricey :0. Fill your wallet

I’m a webdesigner myself and have created a lot of small business sites and done marketing/promotion so I’m happy to offer some advice if you’d like it.

- Sometimes, the honest truth is that the business doesn’t always work out because of a plethora of reasons. 90% of the time it’s because the business owner isn’t willing to do the work involved in promoting the business. It’s not just going to come to you… you do have to work hard for it. But when it pays off, it pays off big time. Web sites reach the entire world and if you offer moderately priced goods and promote the business… you’re going to attract a huge number of people.

- The number one mistake people make when starting a business is overpricing their stuff when they’re a brand new company. People aren’t willing to pay a huge price for something they’ve never tried before. Establish yourself first… then raise prices. Once people can’t live without your stuff they’ll be willing to pay more.

- Put yourself in the position of the customer and then ask what would make you buy this product you’re offering. Sometimes doing this helps you to see what you might be doing wrong/right.

- You can create a small webstore and sell moderately priced items. Then create flyers and post them at grocery stores and anywhere else you think they’ll be seen by your target customer, which should be the everyday woman. If you’re looking to sell more upscale customers, you have to earn that. Once you build a following, then you’ll become more well known and can raise prices and establish a more high scale customer base. But always offer moderately priced items at first.

- Ask around at salons and hair styling places if you can place your business card or a flyer in the salon for customers. Some places will allow you to do this for free. They may even go in on a deal… offer a 10% discount to *their* customers and they’ll advertise for you in their salon. I know dozens of salons who will do this for local business owners especially.

- See how the online business goes for a few months. If you have no sales and you can honestly say you’ve done everything you can to make it work, then worst case scenario is that you’re out webdesign fee and some small production fees. It’s better than worrying about paying the mortgage on a rental property for a business that isn’t working or defaulting on a business loan. Plus all the taxes, overhead and stress of a standing business. You’re likely to be out thousands of dollars if it doesn’t go well. And in this economy, you never know.

Hope I’ve been some help.
