Dogpatch Greens
Fighting Malnutrition In Guatemala
We have a limited quantity of
various Guatemalan crafts for sale
We purchase directly from the
crafters whenever possible to ensure that they receive a fair wage for their
work.
Although
haggling for price is expected (and can be fun) in the market place, peddlers
need to earn a living wage as well.

Saturday market in Antigua "Business is business"

Panajachel

Though we are committed to promoting fair trade practices, there are times when it's a peddler that needs a hand and our purchases make that difference.
