I liked the layout of the store and the fact that it shares space with a quirky vintage shop. Products range from goodies for kids (my friend's Sunshine Chewelry is there, and there's bibs and onesies, too) to the beautiful ceramic growlers and beer steins of Grayling Ceramics, soaps and lotions, clothes and more. The mural along the wall next to the building is also a lovely local beaut. La!!

The product quality is top-notch, the artwork exquisitely beautiful, and the business' visibility and reputation in the area is growing quickly. I won a growler at an event the Kalamazoo Public Library hosted during the month it participated in beer-related programs throughout the community earlier this year, and we've been thrilled with how fresh and cold the container keeps the beer and what an awesome conversation piece it is when we attend events with other homebrewers.

I'm in love with pottery. We had to register for this event, and you get a slab of clay ( Shea was kind enough to give as many slabs as we needed!) And Shea showed us how to make couple of pieces, we could also make anything we wanted. Shea was kind enough to help us and even fix our pieces if they had any flaw. The event lasted for 1.5 hours and it was so much fun. I ended up making 3 pieces that I can't wait to see. Overall it was a very unique experience and I loved every bit of it.

World Fare offers you that feeling, but adds to it by letting you buy products from people who not only deserve your patronage, but who have a story that will make you feel connected to them even though they might live across the globe. I was mostly ignorant about fair trade products until I went into World Fare for the first time. We aren't often shown the ugly underbelly of capitalism, and when we buy coffee at Starbucks we aren't told the story of how the farmers who supplied the beans are paid mere pennies for their product. World Fare offers you a chance to buy quality goods and feel good about where your money is going. You aren't lining corporate pockets in this store. You're helping underprivileged artisans all over the world find value in themselves in and their work. That the store is completely volunteer run is testament to how many people believe in the work of fair trade and what it does for those involved.
