NWT Fair Trade Tropical Hardwood Salad Servers and Cooking Spatula (SET of 3)

These kitchen tools are as beautiful as they are ethical. They're hand carved from sustainably harvested tropical hardwood by artisans in Nicaragua. The artisans work for a U.S.-based Fair Trade organization called Women of the Cloud Forest that has been working in fair trade since 2001. Women of the Cloud Forest forms direct, long-term relationships with small family workshops and cooperatives in Nicaragua, Nepal, Ecuador, and Peru. Besides placing orders with those workshops, it also provides training in business and product development/design and offers no-interest micro-loans and direct grants. This listing is for a set of 3 kitchen items from Nicaragua. They include a set of salad servers (1 serving fork and 1 serving spoon) and a cooking spatula. All 3 items are finished with food-safe linseed oil. They are solid wood and very smooth/have a polished feel. They are all quite long. The salad servers are approximately 13 inches long x 2.5 inches wide. (The spoon is a little shorter than the fork.) The spatula is approximately 14.5 inches long x 3 inches wide. The spatula has a hole in the handle for hanging and the words "Made in Nicaragua" stamped on the back. The salad servers come with a paper tag that says, "Sustainably harvested tropical hardwood" and "Fair Trade" and "Nicaragua". It also says "Women of the Cloud Forest" on the tag and notes that the organization is a member of the Fair Trade Federation. These items are NWT. A wonderful fair-trade present.
