Fair Trade Minneapolis
Summer 2024 – Meet us in Minneapolis:
June 29-30 Twin Cities Pride-Booth #646, July 19-21 Minnehaha Falls Art Fair, and August 3-4 Powderhorn Art Fair!
We encourage people to choose Fair Trade products to pay farmers & artisans fairly, protect the environment with the Fair Trade Standards and ensure that cocoa is farmed by adults.
Haiti needs help. We offer artisan-made Fair Trade products by Papillon Marketplace in Haiti: metal wall art, garden stakes, jewelry, 14oz ceramic mugs, Haiti Friend Dolls, holiday ornaments and greeting cards. When time permits, we give away generous samples of dozens of varieties of Fair Trade tea – to raise customer preference for Fair Trade tea!
In Minneapolis, we give Fair Trade Awards (for free) 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!
