Chico, California
On February 14, 2009, Chico became the 2nd Fair Trade Town in California and 10th in the nation. Becoming a Fair Trade Town required our City Council to pass a resolution in support of Fair Trade principles, businesses and organizations to offer fair trade products, and local citizens pledging to use those products.
