Your post reminded me that I should try again rather than being peeved at their non-responsiveness. I tried contacting the Boston group a month or so ago, but still haven’t heard from them.

I've heard of the store in Claremont, but haven't been able to visit it yet cuz it's kinda far. Will definitely add them to a list of LA resources I'm working on though. MappyB -- I don't know of the best list yet, but you might start by checking out <a href="http://www.transfairusa.org/do/whereToBuy" rel="nofollow">TransFair USA</a>'s list -- searchable by zip :) Hey Melissa!

Foothilll Blvd in Claremont. Their website is: www.fairtradeimports.net. Phone number: 909-626-6772. I think they're open Thursdays through Sundays. It's a great little boutique with about 85% fair trade items and 15% local art. The owners are friendly, the prices are great and it's a great place to buy gifts. I became friends with them after writing a story about their store for a local paper. Obviously, they're not a fair trade coalition, but they are quite active in the community on social justice issues and very knowledgeable about fair trade. Hi,
