Add a review
The FIG Tree, originating in Garstang—the world’s first Fair Trade Town—serves as an international fair trade center celebrating ethical practices and global connections. Their unique offering includes a fair trade exhibition covering Fair Trade Towns, the transatlantic slave trade and its abolition, Quaker heritage in 1652 Country, and the chocolate trade. They partner with Ghanaian Fairtrade cooperative Kuapa Kokoo to create bean-to-bar chocolate and host engaging chocolate-making workshops. Beyond their Garstang-based activities, they extend support to marginalized cocoa farmers in Ghana, tackling structural colonial inequalities through partnerships and workshops.
