The Fairtrade Frome committee met for a late breakfast at The Three Swans as part of Fair Trade Fortnight.
The committee joined thousands of people across the country also enjoying a Fairtrade breakfast.
The committee enjoyed Fairtrade tea and coffee, delicious chocolate cake, dates and bananas.
Ruth Knagg said, “Today, maybe you had tea from India, coffee from Ethiopia or bananas from Colombia? Millions of those farmers who grow the food we enjoy, still have a season of the year when their families go hungry themselves, the ‘times of silence’ or ‘the thin months’.
“It’s easy to make a difference to this situation yourself; simply choose to buy Fairtrade when you can.”
