SMALL PLANET TRADING'S goal is to bring affordable, fun and sustainably sourced products to the Hood River area.  We love finding Fair Trade artisan crafts for gifts or home made with dignity by artists from across the planet.

We research each producer and support those who are involved in community development and care for the Earth.  Our eco-friendly items are designed to help us all live more lightly on the planet.

Every purchase we make has the power to connect us with our brothers and sisters around the world. Just look at the tag on your shirt to get a glimpse of how far items travel between producers and consumers.

By buying Fair Trade you can ensure that the producer or artisan who created your item earned a living wage, labored under safe and humane working conditions, and quite possibly is directing a portion of her profit into a local project supporting education, reforestation, or clean drinking water to name a few.

In the Free Trade model (a misnomer if ever there was one) the average producer typically earns only 3-4% of the retail price of their product.  A Fair Trade producer typically earns 25-30%.  Check here to learn about the Fair Trade movement.
