Our Roots

2006 Tae Moh Hai: Started working with women in my village.Natural dying, cutting, stitching. Youth work with local Temple

“Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. Fair Trade contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers – especially in the South." (WFTO, November 2009)

Why Fair Trade? The Family Tree wants to benefit the artisans who make our products, our customers, our country, the environment and our family.

The Family Tree are for Fair Trade because this movement respects and values producers and customers as people, working together towards a better life and a better world. This is a meaningful goal.

Since 2006, we have worked with Buddhist monks and a network of friends to plant trees. We initiated the Greener Tomorrow project to plant 84,000 trees for HM the King of Thailand. 2011-13, our shop donated $3000 USD to tree planting. We also coordinate with friends to make sure that for every 1000 Baht spent in the shop, at least 1 tree is planted.
