Celebrate Independent Artisans and Small Businesses!  

As we celebrate 4th of July in the US and Canada Day in Canada, consumers and buyers can support the self-sufficiency of farmers and artisans around the world by guaranteeing them fair wages, healthy working conditions, and sustainability by choosing independent fair trade organizations.

Small, independent businesses themselves, FTF members enjoy direct relationships with their suppliers that provide economic freedom on a long term basis to artisans and farmers — enabling to provide for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Support farmers and artisans worldwide by bringing iced fair trade coffee or fair trade chocolate peanut butter fudge to your picnic. See the Get Involved section for more fair trade recipes and ideas of how to integrate fair trade into your holiday!
