The Rainforest Alliance

The Rainforest Alliance is an organization that works to protect rainforests by helping farmers grow crops sustainably. They believe that farming and conservation can go hand in hand. Products with the Rainforest Alliance frog seal come from farms that protect forests, treat workers fairly, and care for the land.

Sustainable Farming

The Rainforest Alliance teaches farmers better ways to grow crops like coffee, cocoa, and bananas. These methods protect the soil, save water, and preserve nearby forests. Farmers learn to grow shade trees on their farms, which provide homes for birds and other wildlife. Sustainable farming helps both the environment and the farmers.

The Frog Seal

When you see a little green frog seal on a product, it means it was made following Rainforest Alliance standards. You can find this seal on chocolate, tea, coffee, and fruit in grocery stores. By choosing products with the frog seal, shoppers help support farmers who take care of the environment.

• The Rainforest Alliance was founded in 1987 by Daniel Katz in New York City.
