What's it all about?
Global Fayre is a Fair Trade retail store located in the heart of Springfield's historic downtown area.
We have a wonderful array of traditionally crafted artisan products from all over the world, as well as a wide selection of gourmet foods - all Fair Trade of course!
We're also members of the First Friday Art Walk and active participants in many of the initiatives that are helping to make downtown Springfield such a vibrant area.
