“In 2006, I started with simple dream of making a small difference for people living in poverty and opened a brick and mortar store, The Silk Road Market,” said Wendy Farmerie, sole proprietor. “That dream has not only grown into a reality, but it has expanded. In working direct with my artisans, I’m putting food on tables, sending kids to school, and offering a stable income. It’s been a humbling experience, truth be told. Expanding into a wholesale business is the next step to make an even larger impact and one I’ve been working to achieve for years. Whether I’m designing a card with Naved in India or a Christmas ornament with Shuvo in Bangladesh, it’s now very personal. Not only are they my artisans, but they’re my friends, and we’re working together to make life a little better and help families struggling to survive.”
