FEATURED CO-OP
Cucharas Ixchel de Petén, Guatemala (Ixchel Spoons of Petén)
The cuchareros of the Cucharas Ixchel de Petén are a cooperative of rural farmers who were refugees or internally displaced due to the country’s recent civil war. Their gorgeous spoons are hand carved out of the local, naturally hard woods that are native to the humid jungles of northern Guatemala. The woods used are all certified as sustainable, preserving local forests while doubling the income of the cooperative’s families.
