Global Fayre


After their youngest was born, the Crump family decided to do something that would allow them to be together as a family while impacting others globally. Thus began Global Fayre, bringing sustainability to areas in need, such as India, Africa and South America, while at the same time bringing fairly traded goods to Springfield, Missouri (or anywhere if you have access to a computer!). Global Fayre's wide array of art, handicrafts and gourmet foods make this a great one-stop shopping experience, whether it be for a gift or your personal home decor.

Global Fayre is now on-line! Purchase goods no matter where you live and take advantage of their $10 discount on your purchase of $50 or more. Check out Fair Trade the White House for more information and coupon codes (and don't forget to sign the invitation to First Lady Michelle Obama on the homepage).
