World Fair Trade Day is Saturday, May 12. That’s just 5 days away!

Want to talk (in person!) about fair trade? I’d love to meet you at Good Eatz Green Cafe and send you home with samples of some great fair trade and coop-owned products.

I’ll be there from 11:00 am -1:00pm, ready to celebrate.

This year, I’m celebrating people and actions that aim to fix something that’s broken. I’m celebrating the fantastic products I’ve already been able to try during my fair trade journey. I’m celebrating YOU for being a part of this.

If you’re not in the area, check the calendar here for events going on near you. There is a record-breaking number of events going on this year, so I hope you’re able to find somewhere to celebrate.

More ideas:

Have a cup of fair trade coffee and a fair trade banana for breakfast. (If you’re in my area, you can find Equal Exchange bananas at Kimberton Whole Foods and Shady Maple Farm Market.)

Bake a sweet treat using fair trade ingredients. (For the local people, fair trade sugar and cocoa options are available at Giant Food Stores.)

Treat yourself (or someone else!). Surf the Serrv site for fair trade and handmade gifts.

Sharon, you are the winner of 50 free fair trade chocolates! Please email me with your preferred shipping address, and I’ll get those to you as soon as possible!
