Following the fourth renewal of Fairtrade Town status, the Okehampton Fairtrade Group continues to promote knowledge and understanding of Fairtrade and the impact our shopping choices can have on farmers in the developing world.
Fairtrade gives them a better deal and means that they can make their own decisions, control their futures and lead the dignified lives we all deserve.
You will see us next at the Okehampton Food and Music Festival on Saturday, June 29th from 9am, when we will have Fairtrade goods to sample and a Fairtrade hamper to raffle.
We will be outside St James Church in Fore Street - do come and find us there.
