At FAIR/SQUARE we sell snack foods, vegan meat and cheese alternatives, tea and coffee that are not only tasty but also healthy and allergy-conscious. We love seeing brands that work exclusively with fairtrade or organic ingredients and choose sustainable packaging solutions. While not everyone can be perfect on all fronts, all products listed at FAIR/SQUARE must live up to the following values.
For some, the term “fair” might seem vague. For us, it encompasses everything that we believe in. A product can only be truly “fair” if it doesn’t exploit anyone or anything. This includes not only farmers and workers (as in fairtrade) but also our animal friends and the planet. No one should have to suffer for humans to create a good product.
We don't sell any products with animal-derived ingredients in them. Period. Our selection includes products that are certified vegan and products that are not certified' but only use vegan ingredients. You might find a "may contain" allergy warning on these non-certified products if they've been made in the same factory as non-vegan products.
We do not only love supporting local Canadian businesses but also the fact, that getting our hands on their products doesn't involve excessive CO2 emissions for shipping. What's even more amazing, is that some brands like Three Farmers even use Canadian grown ingredients such as peas, chickpeas or camelina oil.
