the Mustard Seed - a fair trade shop, inc.

A great place to find unique gifts made by people from lower economic countries. Knowing your money is going to these artisans and also getting a quality piece for yourself or a gift for another

Very friendly volunteers and an interesting variety of items. All net profits go to charities.

The mustard seed is a Hidden Gem in the quaint city of Lake Forest. This fair trade, one-of-a-kind shop is staffed by volunteers. They had some of the most beautiful products, many handmade, from all around the world. The staff were helpful and welcoming and I was able to find some wonderful gifts as well as a few items to decorate my own home. It made me feel proud that I was supporting an independently-owned shop that was supporting small businesses from areas in the world where they certainly could use our help. I give the Mustard Seed on Westminster Avenue in Lake Forest, five stars!
