One of the principles of fair trade is transparency. In pursuit of that principle, the posts below give you an inside look at some of our favorite fair trade brands and the amazing work our fair trade partners do on a daily basis.
All of our partners work directly with their artisans, communicating by many means and many travel once or twice a year to their partner countries.Much can be done via email and Skype these days, but there’s nothing like talking with someone face-to-face to really collaborate, solve problems and plan for the future.
These types of personal relationships are the driving force behind our partners. The following posts hopefully provide a sense of the deep commitment our partners make and give you a sense of the type of work they do to create amazing fair trade products.
