El Sauce craftswomen gain U.S. buyer

Darling, Jacqueline and other members of the Fuente de Pino, the all-female co-op who makes pine needle baskets with thread and the needles from the pine trees near their homes, have been selling their creations to a Rochester, N.Y.-based retailer, Kingdom Ventures.

Kingdom Ventures is a fair trade crafts seller. Owners Rebecca and Glenn visited El Sauce recently to meet the Fuente co-op members, and chronicled their journeys.

Congratulations to all the women in El Sauce for gaining another market! The six-week artisan training The Friends Project helped provide recently is paying off.
