A Trading Post is an on-going place within a bookstore, cafe or church where people can regularly purchase Fair Trade goods. This allows individuals to redirect their spending to Fair Trade purchasing where they can be part of breaking cycles of poverty and abuse around the globe.

Practically speaking, a Trading Post can be anything from a table that gets set up in the back of your church once a month to a special Fair Trade section of your church bookstore. See pictures of some of Trading Post Partners!

It has been really fun for us to see the number of Trading Posts grow because we know that means Fair Trade is becoming more and more accessible in your daily life. We encourage you Find a Post in our newly expanded Trading Post section of the site to see if there is a Trading Post near you that sells Trade as One products!

Recently, Lynne Hybels posted on her blog about the items she purchased through the Trading Post at Willow Creek’s bookstore, Seeds. How great to be able to buy our products locally!
