SAVE 25% OFF EVERYTHING AT Ten Thousand Villages Goshen Saturday, November 12 to Sunday, November 13

Ten Thousand Villages does business differently than typical retailers, giving customers an opportunity to shop with intention.
HOW? Pay fairly, fully, and upfront. Any sales do not impact how much the artisan is paid because they have already been paid in full. This is the fair trade business model Ten Thousand Villages pioneered 76 years ago and continues today as a nonprofit retailer.
