Description

Fair Trade Appalachia harvests and sells wild crafted products from Appalachia sustainably.  These handcrafted goods come from Clearfork County in Central Appalachia.  All proceeds go to those who harvest and create products on a small scale in a low-income region of the Appalachian Coalfields.  As Central Appalachian residents we pride ourselves in our rich knowledge of the forest, what it takes to harvest non-timber forest products in the same locations for over 20 years and how to prepare and bring our clients the best quality wildcrafted mountain goods.  Part of this process means Fair Trade Appalachia educates community members through intergenerational learning processes.


Among their products are: Almond honey bubble bath (8 oz/$8), Golden Seal salve or powder , Lip Balms ($4/stick), Sage Grass – natural remedy for poison ivy! ($6),  Lye Soap, Handmade Recycled Glass Arrowheads, Herbal Moisturizing Balm  (4 oz/$10).  For more details, go to http://fairtradeappalachia.wordpress.com/products/
