Working for a WELL EARTH

We're committed to offering high-quality herbs and spices grown and processed in an ethical and sustainable manner. That's why we started our Well Earth? sourcing program. Partnering directly with small farmers and farming co-ops provides us with the best product and allows us to support the farming communities directly.

Well Earth? PARTNERS RECEIVE DIRECT SUPPORT.

In addition to purchasing commitments that provide growers with viable and stable revenue, we make donations to support:

! Education, training and expert assistance. ! Community projects that improve

the quality of living in the farming communities.

Letter from our CEO

Dear Friends,

Whenever I say "doing good is good business," I'm careful to clarify. Financial success isn't the reason to do good. Simply doing the right thing is all the motivation any of us should need. But business success is a likely benefit of a sustainable and ethical approach. (A recent survey by Harvard Business Review Analytics indicates that companies guided by a purpose beyond making money are significantly more financially successful than explicitly profit-driven rivals, for example.)

Frontier's success has gone hand-in-hand with a strong commitment to the purpose of doing good. We give 4% of our pre-tax profit -- over $1.2 million in the last two years -- to social causes. Half of this amount helps our Well Earth sourcing partners and their communities. We also fund many charitable groups in this country and support numerous organizations that research and promote organic and sustainable agriculture.

Direct buying helps our sourcing partners (often co-ops of small-growers) by providing stable markets and good crop prices that they don't have to share with middlemen -- income that makes life better for everyone in the poor agricultural communities. We also help growers with the training, technical support and equipment they need to improve their operations. Sometimes we help them achieve organic and Fair Trade certification so they can earn additional income and social premiums.

We also help the communities where our growers live -- by digging wells to provide clean water, building schools and dental clinics, funding access to education for kids in remote villages, and supporting other community improvements.

So how does this giving benefit our co-op as a business? One example is our relationship with our Well Earth partner FEDECOVERA (a co-op whose members are 41 grower co-ops representing over 50,000 small farmers). We've helped their farmers with training, organic conversion and certification, and the introduction of new, profitable crops -- and we also recently helped them open a brand new dental clinic by funding the staff and equipment.

In return, they've become a stable, reliable source of high quality, organic allspice -- an exceptional and valuable supplier for us. Also, it's because of our partnership with FEDECOVERA that we are able to maintain our high quality standard for cardamom pods. We sell only G1 (grade 1) pods, which are the boldest, largest and greenest pods that are harvested every year -- the top 1-2% of the crop. Due to our close relationship with FEDECOVERA, they sell us all of their G1 output, allowing us to meet rising demand and weather crop shortages in the cardamom market while maintaining our high quality standard.

Over the last 12 years, while doing business ethically and sustainably -- rapidly expanding our social giving, actually -- we've had revenue growth of over 400%. We reached over $147 million dollars in net sales last year and returned a net income of about 15% to our members. Our commitment to being a socially responsible business has contributed significantly to that success, through both cooperative partnerships with growers and enthusiasm for our products by our members and consumers.

Thank you for being a part of Frontier Co-op and helping us do business sustainably, ethically, cooperatively -- and profitably.

Sincerely,

Tony Bedard, CEO Frontier Co-op

Well Earth? Funding Supports Co-op Dental Clinic in Guatemala

When you and your customers shake flavorful bursts of Frontier and Simply Organic ground cardamom and allspice into rice dishes, sauces, pastries, cookies and chai, you're helping farmers in Guatemala live better lives. Their well-being, and now their dental health, is supported by the way we bring their cardamom (organic and non-organic) and allspice (organic) to market. These farmers also grow the cardamom that produces Aura Cacia cardamom essential oil.

Our Well Earth? program provides funding for a dental clinic operated by FEDECOVERA, a co-op that's the world's largest cardamom supplier. FEDECOVERA has run a dental clinic for a while now, but they've recently expanded it. They've opened a new building and, helped by a nearly $50k donation from Frontier, added equipment and a full-time dentist. The clinic serves 25,000 people (growers and their families) who are part of 41 independent grower co-ops organized under the larger FEDECOVERA co-op.

If you're keeping score, we're talking about a co-op to co-op to co-op situation here, all tailored toward nurturing people and planet while delivering high quality products. For Frontier customers that are also co-ops, then it's a co-op to co-op to co-op to co-op sequence of shared values!

The farmers who grow our cardamom and allspice in Guatemala are mostly indigenous Mayan (Q'eqchi') people who don't have easy access to medical and dental facilities. They are resourceful farmers who can do a lot with the tricky but fertile land they live on. Using sustainable farming methods handed down for generations, they grow many different kinds of crops including coffee, tea, cloves and bananas, often in harmony on the same land at the same time.

FEDECOVERA cares greatly about their member communities the co-op organizes health clinics, business support services and several other programs to help their farmers. We relish the opportunity to work with our suppliers to sustain healthy communities, so we asked FEDECOVERA how we could help. Our support of the dental clinic, along with fair pricing and all the other aspects of our Well Earth program, not only benefits the hardworking farmers, but also helps maintain the high quality of our products. Like us, the farmers value fairness and integrity ? and this is reflected in the botanicals they grow for us.

"We have many clients around the world," FEDECOVERA Business Manager Samy Lopez told us. "Frontier isn't our biggest, but is definitely our favorite."
