The Fair Trade Healdsburg campaign was established in April, 2011 by a group of 10 dedicated volunteers. We were encouraged to gain recognition for our small town that had already shown such strong support for Fair Trade. In just five short months we accomplished all five of our goals and with unanimous support from our City Council, Healdsburg was officially declared the first Fair Trade Town in Sonoma County on Sept 8, 2011.
We currently have 12 businesses that carry at least two certified Fair Trade products, including two grocery stores, two cafés, a clothing store, toy store, salon, book store and 3 gift shops including one fully committed to Fair Trade.
