The Fair Trader Story

 

In 2009 a group of fair trade enthusiasts set out to create a local ethical co-operative. They recognised the human and environmental cost of many cheap products. In 2010 they launched the six-room Holmfirth store, website and events.

We are proud to:

​

  • Know all about our product makers, materials and workplaces

  • Be a volunteer-owned and -run co-operative

  • Have survived the financial and retail crises

  • Trail blaze and deliver sustainable, ethical trading

  • Support farmers and families around the world to get a better deal

  • Be not-for-profit; any surplus is reinvested in our supplier producers

  • Reduce waste and run a small recycling centre.
