Fair Trade for Deep Wolf at The Farm

Fair Trade for Deep Wolf at The Farm

The issue

Mark & Holly at Deep Wolf Surf Shop at The Farm have been told by regional National Parks management that they can no longer sell coffee, due to a complaint from the cafe that by doing so they are "stealing customers from the cafe". We the undersigned counter that this is an infringement on fair trade, and the majority of us who purchase our coffee at Deep Wolf do so because we surf with Mark and Holly early in the morning & then join them for a coffee & a chat, only paying for the coffee to cover the cost of making it. The cafe is not open this early, thus customers are not being 'stolen'.

We are signing this petition to request a review of this decision, to ensure a fair go for a local small business.
