The Marketplace of the North Woods is open for early access
218 Marketplace brings the makers, crafters, growers, and small businesses of northern Minnesota onto one online shelf — handmade, upcycled, second-hand, and local.
Hand-verified, not anonymous
Every applicant is reviewed by a real person for genuine northern Minnesota provenance — no dropshippers, no mass-produced "handmade."
Money stays local
Net proceeds go straight to Northland makers and their towns — from the woodworker in Ely to the jam kitchen in Grand Rapids.
Provenance with a story
Every purchase comes from a named maker you can learn about, follow, and message — provenance the big marketplaces can't offer.
