Fair Trade Month

I am so happy to get to share with all of you here about some awesome Fair Trade companies! October is Fair Trade month so it’s a great time to find out more about Fair Trade and where to shop it! Before working on this project I only knew bits and pieces about Fair Trade so it has been so wonderfully learning more about it and what good it can do for so many! I just love supporting other creatives, artists and farmers and Fair Trade is an awesome way to do that!

These are some great brands that may not have known are Fair Trade Numi, Barefoot, Unreal, Guittard, Steaz, Honest Tea and Patagonia.

Here is a little more information that I have learned during Fair Trade month.

Buying Fair Trade is a great way to get quality products while helping the people who grow, sew and craft them get a fair deal for their hard work. Your everyday purchases can help farmers and factory workers in 70 countries work in safe conditions, earn extra money to invest in their communities and improve the lives of their families. How awesome is that?!

A growing number of farmers, factories, businesses, and consumers are seeing how investing in people best secures the future of the products (and planet) we love. By purchasing Fair Trade, you join a virtuous circle that improves lives, protects the environment, and produces high-quality products for you and your family to enjoy.
