World Fair Trade Day

Saturday, May 12

The World Fair Trade Day is an initiative of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) that takes place on the second Saturday of May each year. 

It is an inclusive worldwide festival of events celebrating Fair Trade as a tangible contribution to sustainable development, especially the economic empowerment of small producers, gender equality in workplaces and responsible production practices.

The WFTO define Fair Trade as "A trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers – especially in the South."

Be an agent for change and support communities across the globe by choosing Fair Trade Certified products! Our Fair Trade selection includes chocolate from Theo, olive oil and sesame seeds from Canaan, body care products from Alaffia, and a wide variety of items from Equal Exchange and Level Ground, just to name a few.
