We will by holding Fair Trade Bake Off anchored at the Raleigh Ten Thousand
Villages.
We will also be providing more information on the Raleigh Fair Trade Towns
movement and enlisting more volunteers.
Providing more information on Fair Trade food and ingredients and where in
the Raleigh are you can purchase them I am working on contacting local
grocery stores to get them on board to them into the Fair Trade Raleigh
Campaign, ie Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Spice Shop, Ben & Jerrry’s, etc.
All and all just trying to capture enthusiasm and letting people know about
what is available other than coffee and chocolate in the food arena that is
available as a Fair Trade product.

For World Fair Trade Day, Fair Trade Houston is hosting a Fair Trade
Pancake Brunch! While this isn’t a “traditional” baking event, there will
be lots of sweet treats and delicious, homemade pancakes at the event for
everyone to try! If we have the baking kit as well, we might be able to
tack on a small bake sale at the event for people to take treats home with
them. There is always room for more Fair Trade goodies!

St John’s Episcopal in Mankato MN is hosting Fair Trade Coffee Hours after our worship on the Sunday before WFTD to help promote local WFTD activities and to share yummy treats baked with Fair Trade and local foods. We’ll offer recipes for the items we make. Our group is energized to help promote WFTD and to educate about cooking with FT and local ingredients, like those yummy eggs from free range chickens!
