We are ecstatic to announce the Portland Fair Trade Blog!
Why? Because we believe people care where their products come from.
We would like to help Portlanders find fair trade outlets throughout the city. The purchase of fair trade products not only shows support for social justice, but helps increase the quality of life for hard-working artisans.
Please listen to our first Podcast, where Lois Gearhart, manager of Ten Thousand Villages, discusses the purpose behind the blog’s creation. We hope that you will join us in supporting fair trade in Portland, specifically those who sell fair trade products.
Thanks for listening!

Great podcast! Really enjoyed listening to it and looking forward to more great content from the PFT blog!
We’re so happy to have a place to bring together ideas, support and great energy around the topic of fair trade.
I’m looking forward to a Fair Trade Break at Ten Thousand Villages on Saturday — nothing like free (fair trade) chocolate samples.
I’m loving this excitement and support!
We are so happy to bring the fair trade community together.
Look for new and exciting things every week!
