SUPPORTING LOCAL MAKERS SINCE 2010

We incubate new brands and create platforms to showcase the best and brightest makers from Southern California and beyond. All of our makers’ products are made in the USA.

Makers take advantage of the incredible shopper we attract to launch new brands and test new lines with us. And leverage our community and resources for growth and long term success.

At our pop up markets and events, consumers and buyers discover a wide array of handmade and small production eats and treats from local honey to hot sauce; home goods including handcrafted décor and candles; lifestyle goods like skincare and kids’ products. Plus programming with hands-on DIY workshops, chef-led demos, expert panels and speakers educating guests on various topics, including the non-profit organizations changing the local food and maker scene.

Retailers, developers and corporate partners work with us to create and curate public and private events for their employees and patrons, both under our brand umbrella and white label for theirs. Join our community!
