About
What it is
Love Local is an online, curated directory of small businesses, farmers markets and farms across the country that prioritize sustainability in their business practices and offer organic, sustainable products and services.
Love Local is a guide you can easily search to find locally made, small batch products. As consumers, we have the ability to vote with our wallets. Love Local makes it easy for you to support your neighbors and keep profits in the hands of small businesses that care about your health, the local community, and the environment. We’ve done our homework, so buying from a company in our directory eliminates the guesswork. You can buy with confidence that you’re supporting a local artisan, purveyor or farmer, making a purchase you know is ethically and sustainably made.
