About Burlap & Barrel

Burlap & Barrel is a public benefit corporation that builds ethical, direct-trade supply chains to source exceptional spices for professional chefs and home cooks alike. We work directly with smallholder farmers around the world to bypass traditional brokers, ensuring that the spices are harvested at peak ripeness and delivered with unparalleled freshness. Our unique approach revitalizes ancient spice varieties while providing significantly higher income to the people who grow them.
