Chicago Market Fair Trade Tour
Join Chicago Market and Chicago Fair Trade for a tour of our future grocery store and a discussion of how fair trade fits into our project.
We’ll be joined by Katherine Bissell Cordova, Executive Director of Chicago Fair Trade, and Chicago Market General Manager, Dan Arnett, who is also President of Fairtrade America. They will speak briefly about the principles of fair trade and how fair trade fits into Chicago Market’s product mix.
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.
Our Owner Candid Wines will be sampling wines from La Riojana, a cooperatively owned, Fairtrade-certified winery in Argentina.
Please join us for this fun and informative event!
