This is a detailed guide on where to buy fair trade products in Sydney. The fair trade movement in Sydney is growing, thanks to a flourishing community of social entrepreneurs with visions to increase opportunities for marginalised people around the world. Many are part of the NSW Fair Trade Network Group – people from all sectors of the NSW community that seek to promote the fair trade movement.

The 10 principles of fair trade are outlined in the image below. All vendors and businesses mentioned in this post adhere to the 10 principles of fair trade in their own capacity.

Fair Trade at The Hill is a store run by a group of women who work alongside the former Trading Circle staff to assist them with keeping fair trade alive and well in Sydney’s Summer Hill. They are passionate about fair trade, love the products they sell and know you will too.
