Anna speaks with Ethan, co-founder of Burlap & Barrel spice company, based in the US, about spices!

It is impossible in the Global North to talk about pumpkins without talking about spices, and the idea of 'pumpkin spice' which (as Ethan points out) as now become a 'thing' an identity in its own right. Therefore, at Sourced we felt it was important to delve into the spice trade. The spices in Pumpkin Spice have a brutal colonial history, which have to be recognised before enjoyed. 

Through spices in Burlap & Barrel's Pumpkin Spice we find out some of the trade routes and hear about farmers that Ethan and his team work with, and understand how an equitable spice supple chain can look.
