This is an awesome shop - Lisa and her crew are terrific. Today I did a bit of shopping and have a knee issue so they even took my bags out to my car for me. Love a local business and this is one of the best.

Our collaboration with Fair Trade initiatives also gives women the ability to invest in their communities, including sending their children to school. Through these efforts, families thrive and neighborhoods become safer, as women’s economic strength benefits everyone around them.
It's the belief that everyone should be fairly compensated for the work they do.
The Fair Trade movement has 10 guiding principles:
1. Create opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers.
2. Be transparent and accountable
3. Conduct fair trade practices
4. Pay promptly and fairly.
5. Guard against child labor and forced labor.
6. Promote gender equality and non-discrimination.
7. Ensure safe working conditions.
8. Build capacity to help producers grow their business.
9. Raise awareness about fair trade.
10. Respect the environment.
