Flavours of Life in New London, New London County, United States | Shop

Welcome to Flavours of Life Shop, New London, United States. With our passions the foundation for Flavours of Life was laid. Over 7 years ago, while working in the pharmaceutical industry, Marcie and life-partner David, yearned for something more. We spent a weekend painting a picture of what it would be like if we were able to live out our passions.
Celebrating differences, exploring, valuing, respecting others & their cultures.  Fairness, justice, fulfillment, a sense of purpose - meaningful existence.  Adventure, exotic foreign travel, living life to the fullest. In January 2004 Marcie started Flavours of Life.
Flavours of Life,offers you the opportunity to value the sights, sounds, tastes & feel of other cultures whilst respecting individuals, their culture & the environment.
What about Our Mission? * Flavours of Life will develop a sustainable business through fair and transparent practices in order to provide enduring support for disadvantaged producers and will seek to expand fair trade throughout SE Connecticut.  * We will serve to enhance cross-cultural understanding and respect between North American consumers and producer-communities throughout the developing world through the retailing of fair trade (FT) goods sourced from recognized FT wholesalers.  * We will promote an awareness of history and an appreciation of culture through the provision of art, crafts, food, and music.  * We will encourage our customers to become involved in the improvement of both the living conditions of producers and the global environment. * We will adopt the principles of fairness, respect and openness in our dealings with producers, suppliers and customers and seek to share these business values with others through federation and cooperation.
Where can you meet us? At the Shop on Bank Street, New London. We will publish our opening hours on this website, at the store, and in our business literature as they will slightly change during the year. We will endeavour to always be there when we say we will!
At fairs, festivals, markets, & vendor days throughout SE Connecticut. If you want to support fair trade, then please invite us to attend on these occasions.
We will visit schools, universities, churches and other community groups to spread the word about Fair Trade. If you want a fair trade kiosk, goods on consignment, to host a home or in-store party or discounted fundraisers then contact us to arrange.
