What is Fair Trade? Fair Trade is a practice that guarantees family farmers and workers will receive fair wages for their harvests: a comprehensive social-economic tool strong enough to raise the standard of living for millions of people. Media, PA became America’s First Fair Trade Town in July 2006. Our town’s leadership has inspired nine more U.S. towns to
follow suit, with 20 or more towns close to making the Fair Trade Town declaration.Visit www.visitmediapa.com/fairtrade for event details and for information about Media and Fair Trade.
