Grassroots Fair Trade Store is a beacon of ethical commerce in Anchorage, Alaska. Offering an extensive selection of handmade Fair Trade products ranging from jewelry and household goods to decorative items, accessories, scarves, purses, toys, and gifts, this unique store has become a testament to the power of conscious consumerism.

The journey of Grassroots began with its founder, Jill Dean. Starting at the grassroots level, Jill sold Fair Trade coffee, chocolate, and tea at her church before expanding to a booth at the Anchorage summer weekend market. Bolstered by the positive response from the community, she leaped and secured a storefront in the Spenard neighborhood.

Proudly bearing the title of Alaska’s first fair trade store, Grassroots is deeply committed to the principles of Fair Trade. This commitment extends beyond the borders of Anchorage to create more significant equity in the international trading system. By offering Fair Trade products, Grassroots actively supports artisans and farmers in developing countries who often find themselves socially and economically marginalized.

The Grassroots Fair Trade Store is a shining example of how businesses can seamlessly intertwine ethical commerce with providing unique, high-quality products. Whether you call Anchorage home or are just passing through, visiting the Grassroots Fair Trade Store promises a gratifying experience.
