I was so excited to hear this month, that the very first Fair Trade retail store to open in the North Dallas area is in my very own town of McKinney, Texas!
It's about time.
McKinney?......North Dallas?......meet Fair & Square Imports!
Their mission?
"Fair & Square Imports is dedicated to helping eradicate poverty
through purchasing only from small-scale artisans, co-ops, non-profits,
and farmers throughout the developing regions of the world. By making
their handicrafts and goods available to new markets like McKinney, it
helps create economic opportunity so these artisans and farmers can
support their families and themselves."

| Monkey Pod Wood Table from Thailand |
You might be able to find some similar products in the mass retailer stores, but if you have the chance to improve the wellbeing of your global neighbor provide food and clothing for their families, why wouldn't you choose to do so?
