Fair Trade Minneapolis creates jobs in Haiti!
Meet us for gorgeous art made by parents being paid fairly for their work with Papillon Marketplace in Haiti! We bring metal wall art, ornaments-birds bees trees etc, “jewelry” made of ceramic and paper-rolled beads, garden stakes, ceramic mugs, Haiti Fiends Dolls, greeting cards, and headbands!
Meet us in Minneapolis! We’re seeking events for 2025: Art Fairs! Street Festivals! Farmers Markets!
We happily help nonprofits at their fundraisers by paying a booth fee to sell our art, creating fairly paying jobs for parents in Haiti. Please encourage your favorite nonprofits to contact us!

We encourage people to choose Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar, bananas, and artisan products to pay farmers and artisans fairly, protect the environment with the Fair Trade Standards, and ensure adults farm the cocoa for our chocolate.
