Healdsburg City Council unanimously approved our resolution!

Healdsburg on Tuesday took steps toward becoming the first “Fair Trade Town” in Sonoma County, part of a movement to encourage fair labor practices and healthy working conditions in the production of imported food and goods.
The City Council unanimously approved a resolution expressing support for fair trade practices and a local committee's initiatives to make Healdsburg a “Fair Trade Town USA.”
