Welcome to the world of Fair Trade; a celebration of the partnership and interdependency between peoples of the world.  It is a new day on the timeline of international trading, with an ethical imperative at its heart. 

In a typical day, we make numerous purchases, but rarely do we ask the questions:

• Who produced this commodity/item?
• Under what conditions was it grown/created?
• Was the producer adequately compensated for his/her efforts?

Fair Trade products have undergone a rigorous auditing process which ensures that the following criteria have been met:

1. The producer receives a fair price or wage in the local context
2. The working environment is safe and democratically run
3. No child labor was utilized

The result is that Fair Trade items embody both social responsibility & environmental sustainability.  The superior products that the consumers then enjoy means that Everyone Wins with Fair Trade. 

 I hope you enjoy browsing through the pages and making your purchases.
