FAIR TRADE on site shopping only at the Market

Fair Trade changes the way trade works through better prices, decent working conditions, and a fairer deal for farmers and workers in developing countries.

When you purchase a Fair Trade item to give as a gift to others or to yourself, you are helping artisans and farmers from many different parts of the world succeed in making a sustainable living for their families. The Fair Trade vendors invited to this year’s market are:

A Thread of Hope
Seeds to Sow Haven
