TransFairUSA


I just want to share with you the most significant organization committed to Fair Trade in this country: TransFairUSA. Be sure to visit their website (http://transfairusa.org) and access their many resources - from basic FAQs to in-depth academic position papers, to activist tools, the TransFair website has it. There is also a fairly complete listing of stores, coops, and web commerce sites for fair trade goods, including flowers. We will hopefully be included on this list soon. (There is a vetting process to ensure that retailers are on the level.)
Take a look at their site, including this Flash presentation:


It is great to know TransFairUSA is out there. Check them out, and don't forget to make a donation!

If you're in Bergen County, stop by one of our shops - Tiger Lily on Cedar Lane or Encke Flowers on Queen Anne Road and talk with us about Fair Trade.
