A warm welcome to True Origin
True Origin has two distinct parts: True Origin Foods and True Origin Partnerships. We work closely together, and with our producer partners and their communities in the Global South.
True Origin Foods
works directly with a network of smallholder farmers and producers in the global south to source the finest ethical foods.
As a WFTO Guaranteed Member, True Origin Foods adheres to fair trade principles. We believe this is the fairest way to do business and as a social enterprise based in the West of Scotland, we also apply these principles across our UK operations, creating employment here and striving to reduce our environmental impact.
Our purchases of fine foods help farmers and producer communities receive a fair and reliable income, enabling them to buy equipment, education, infrastructure and take care of their environment.
True Origin Partnerships is the new name for The Balmore Trust, reflecting our close working relationships with True Origin Foods, and with our producer partners and their communities in the global south.
As a charity we aim to empower our partner communities, working with them on locally led development projects, responding to requests for grants, and supporting the fair purchase of their produce through our retail arm, True Origin Foods.
