OUR PRODUCERS – ABSOLUTE TRANSACTIONAL TRANSPARENCY
Moving to Vail in search of a better quality of life was only the beginning for founders Chris Chantler and Craig Arseneau as they pro-actively develop business relationships to enhance the efforts and lives of their producers, from fair trade cooperatives to micro-estates.
Without exception, VMCT demands complete and total transparency of all transactions to ensure the extraordinary men and women behind the production of VMCT’s coffee and tea receive fair payment for their product.
