Lots of unique handmade items from around the world. Youre donating to a good cause by giving artists and their families an opportunity to recycle and make an honest living with a fair trade. That alone is a strong incentive to shop here.

The place is really neat! I like the variety of products they offer. And their mission is impressive! I only rated 4 because the folks running the place, while being helpful, would be too helpful...repeatedly checking if you need help with anything and wanting to chat.

This might be my favorite store! Super friendly and helpful staff and really amazing and cool items made from all over the world. They give the money back to them too! And I love the cards telling you about who made them!

I love, love, LOVE shopping here. I can spend hours looking at the handcrafted jewelry, trinkets, clothing, rugs, etc from all over the world. The products are fun and unique. What could be better than supporting artisans throughout the world at a fair trade?

Huge Ten Thousand Villages store. There is an oriental rug area as well as a cafe. Plus all of those great fair trade products. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

This is a lovely store to visit, but it is definitely more expensive than the outlet store at Rockvale. However, there is a much larger showroom, a kids room with a story and craft session, and the option to get a 16 oz coffee to go for a $1 donation. The coffee is a very high quality, delicious roast.

Truly recommend shopping here, one of the satellite stores, or on their website. This happens to be the main and largest store since, being run by the Mennonite Central Committee, it is based here administratively. Everything is fair trade, yes the prices are higher, but for good reason. Being Fair Trade means that the individual artisans are paid directly for their products, no corporate middle man taking the majority of the cut. This also gives the artisans freedom to create as they will, and allows them to make a living out of their wares.

I LOVE this place and what it stands for. I think many items are overpriced, and that the artists are paid a fair wage, but prices have increased to the point that I look more than spend.
