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.
In Minneapolis, we give Fair Trade Awards to small businesses & food co-ops to celebrate the number of different Fair Trade products they sell.
We’re a 501c3 tax-exempt nonprofit with EIN 86-3602442. To donate, please text FAIR to 53555, thank you!
