Local Bakers and Makers

Our Mission

Our mission is simple; to shine a spotlight on the talented individuals crafting delicious baked goods, handmade items, and unique creations right from their homes and small studios and connect them with customers looking for their products.

We’re a local directory created to celebrate and support cottage home bakers and local makers — the talented individuals in our community who are handcrafting everything from custom cakes and sourdough to natural soaps, candles, and one-of-a-kind gifts. Think of us as your year-round, always-open local farmers market — but even better. Unlike a traditional market that only happens once a week (or seasonally), our directory is available 24/7, so you can browse, discover, and connect with local vendors anytime.

All made with love, care and a personal touch you won't find in big-box stores. We believe in shopping small, supporting local and building stronger communities through connection. When you buy from a home baker or local maker, you're not just purchasing a product, you're helping a dream grow.

Our Origin Story

It started when I kept seeing the same kinds of posts pop up, people asking where to buy local honey, sourdough bread, custom cakes, tallow skin care, and more. There were so many people looking — and so many makers creating — but no easy way for them to connect. I wanted to build something that could bridge that gap.

My favorite thing to do on weekends is to go to farmers markets and vendor fairs. I love a good roadside market or bakery cart. To me, the best things you will find are from small, local creators.

As a former small, local baker myself, I know how hard it is to get noticed. You go to vendor fairs, post on social media, and spread the word however you can — but it takes a lot of work. I wanted a way to shine a spotlight on the incredible makers and small businesses in our communities.

We’ve all been there — finding something we want, only to realize it’s an hour away. The truth is, there are amazing small businesses offering those same things right in our own towns. My goal was to make it simple — search a map, find what you need, and support someone in your own community.
