Traditions Fair Trade is owned by Jody Mackey, with a vision of connection, beauty and service. Our space is shared with the wonderful Soul Cafe, serving food and drink to warm your soul, in our lovely event center.
Traditions offers live entertainment, and a marketplace supporting equitable trade relationships with low-income artisans and farmers from developing countries. Since its founding in 1996 Traditions has evolved into a community center for concerts, workshops and public forums; a gathering place for a community of interesting and involved people. Jody and the Crew are proud to continue the vision of the founder, Dick Meyer.
We and our committed and friendly staff welcome you!
The best way to describe us is to simply give voice to the people who come here.
