No CommentsRead moreThese lovely purses our one of our top sellers in Bar Harbor!

Sarah CullerVisit Bar Harbor
No CommentsRead moreBar Harbor is definitely a special place for the Fair Trade Winds family. We love that it’s a small town, but people come from all over the world to visit and it’s the home of our first store. It’s great being part of a town that cares about its connection to the community as a whole, both the natural world and the people who inhabit it.
