Venture Imports
Import & Export in Grand Rapids, MI
Venture Imports is run and run by Jennie Nichols. She is a graduate of Calvin College, where she gained an undergraduate degree in Economics with a minor in Third World Development. Her studies nurtured her belief that where one is born oftentimes unfairly dictates their opportunities in life. This, in turn, fostered a desire to aid balance the scales of that inequity. During a college trip to South Africa, she came to believe that a nice way to aid people in developing countries is to supply them a market to sell their goods, so, in 2001, she began Venture Imports with that aim in mind.

About Us
read moreThank you for taking the time to find out about our company. It means the world to us! All of our products are fair trade. We are members of the Fair Trade Federation and Chicago Fair Trade, and our founder, Jennie, has served on both of their boards. Put more simply, we run our business the way we think all businesses should be run: treating everyone in the supply chain with dignity. We are fair trade because we care about the people who make our products. We intentionally seek to work with those who are under-represented in their fields, particularly women.
