Chicago Market Fair Trade Tour

Join Chicago Fair Trade at the Chicago Market for a tour of their future grocery store coop and a discussion of how fair trade fits into this exciting new project-the biggest startup coup in the U.S.

Hear from Chicago Market General Manager, Dan Arnett, who is also President of Fairtrade America. Come learn how Chicago Market can buy wine, chocolate, coffee, tea, olive oils, and more from the Global South in ways that provide fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental sustainability.

Chicago Market Owner Candid Wines will be sampling wines from La Riojana, a cooperatively owned, Fairtrade-certified winery in Argentina and we’ll have chocolate samples from Divine Chocolate, a co-op of cocoa farmers in Ghana.
