Fair World Marketplace was a fair trade store
(a Ten Thousand Villages partner store) located in Syracuse/DeWitt, New York. Over seven years, sales from this store provided more than $250,000 in income for artisan and farmer co-ops throughout the world. Declining sales following the 2008 recession forced the store's closure in 2011.

Thank you for your support for fair trade!

Let The Shopping Season Begin

With the coming of Thanksgiving, the holidays are in full swing. We've decorated the store and brought in a lot of exciting new items to make it even easier for you to support Fair Trade and find the perfect gifts.


These handmade jute gift bags are made in Calcutta by a group of former prostitutes, now working with dignity to create these festive jute bags. It’s a quick, easy way to wrap gifts and make a difference at the same time. Our special price is $3.99.


To make the countdown to Christmas a little sweeter, we are putting our Divine Chocolate Advent Calenders on sale for $5.95.


It's also time to get the christmas cards in the mail, so this week we are adding these beautiful hand-cut paper cards to our list of specials. These cards are made in Thailand through the Hands of Hope Project, which supports villagers living with HIV/AIDS. Choose from a wide selection and get 3 for $9.
