A little bit about us

Our Story

Local Commons is your local makers market, accessible nationwide at your fingertips. We believe that as humans, we love to shop locally and support our communities whenever we can, doing our part as consumers to shop responsibly and sustainably. Large corporations have taken over, and many of us feel guilty for supporting these companies that prioritize shareholders over the talented people behind the scenes who make the company what it is. Local Commons is here to highlight the amazing local makers across the country and share their stories.

We started Local Commons out of pure fatigue from the current state of the marketplace. While goods are becoming more expensive every year, the quality is declining at alarming rates. Large corporations are monopolizing the market, and are able to get away with practices that are morally wrong. We are tired of feeling guilty every time we shopped at a place we knew was the problem.

Local Commons is a place to shop that will make you feel good about your purchase. You can shop at Local Commons knowing that we will ALWAYS do what we feel is right thing. We will put the environment and our communities first. We will ALWAYS give back to the communities that given so much. Every product will have soul and passion behind it, and we will ALWAYS support our makers and do what we can to help them. 

Shop Local - Give Back - Enjoy The Commons.
