After my last post and discussing these issues at church today, I’ve had a few people ask where to buy fair trade goods. Here are a few options.
In the west/southwest Chicago suburbs –
Trader Joes – Glen Ellyn, Batavia – coffee, tea, chocolate
Whole Foods – Wheaton – coffee and tea
Ten Thousand Villages – Glen Ellyn – coffee, tea, chocolate, rice, beans, heath supplies, decor
Village Grind – Oswego, Yorkville – coffee
Caribou Coffee – Rainforest blend coffee
Jewel – some coffee, tea
Online retailers –
Fair Trade at Amazon – buy coffee, chocolate, tea, sugar, candy, rice, and salsas.
Equal Exchange – coffee, tea, and chocolate
Global Exchange – coffee, tea, chocolate, gifts
