Made Local Marketplace is a small shop with a big mission—offer “locally sourced, curated goods made in the North Bay.”
The brainchild of Willow Fish Peterson, the shop has an awesome variety of goods from more than 150 local makers, artists and brands. So to say there’s a little something for everyone would be an understatement.
To this point, Fish Peterson says, “Shopping local isn’t just about finding a great gift—it’s an investment in the North Bay’s creative community. Every dollar spent here circulates through our local economy, supporting real people, real makers and real jobs.”
She adds, “Our curated gift boxes have become one of the easiest ways for people to support local makers. Every item inside is made right here in the North Bay, and we offer pickup, delivery and shipping so you can send local love anywhere.”
Locally made highlights include the clever and beautifully rendered wood and resin charcuterie boards, serving plates and artwork from West Coast Vibez. Artists and co-founders Doreen Griffiths, Tim Curtis and Jeanine Curtis lean-in to the beautiful coastline we share in the North Bay to create eye-catching work that really feels one of a kind.
Another thoughtful gift comes in the form of candles from Green Castle Rock Gardens. Each one is hand poured and made of 100% soy wax, which makes them toxin free. There are some very intriguing and lovely scents available, including Harvest Moon, Cashmere Plum, Garden Mint and Black Violet Saffron, to name a few.
Clearly the vibe here is chill as we head out of arguably the dumbest timeline (2025) and into the unknown. Selfcare is key—starting with a gift from MoonEssence Bath Products.
Maker of natural handcrafted artisan body care products, MoonEssence has a lovely variety of soaps, lotions and serums to help soothe all the wrinkles accumulated with each bizarro headline. The products make great gifts for everyone, including oneself.
“When you shop local, you’re voting for the kind of community you want to live in,” reminds Fish Peterson. “You’re helping your neighbors thrive.”
