What is Fair Trade Bloomington?

Fair Trade Bloomington was incorporated in October 2007 with the goal of educating about fair trade and the increasing availability of fair trade products in Bloomington, Indiana.  We are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing opportunity for those living in Bloomington and nearby communities to contribute to global economic development and poverty relief through education and promotion of products that adhere to fair trade principles. In 2013, Bloomington became Indiana's first Fair Trade Town.
