Vendor Information

Soil to Soil Market is a nationwide multi-vendor ecommerce market. The Market enables customers to discover verified, non-greenwashed goods that are local to them, wherever they may be. When it comes to handmade goods that can't scale in terms of manufacturing or mass production, that scale needs to come from a handmade, grassroots approach.

Soil to Soil Market removes the barrier of producers running their own ecommerce websites, provides marketing and customer support, and has the ability to scale in a way that will increase long-term viability. For vendors who already have their own ecommerce sites, the market will be supplemental to that. Most important is the ability of consumers to find VERIFIED goods all in one place.

There are no membership or listing fees for vendors.

The market charges a 15% commission on all sales.  

FREE US Shipping for all products. Vendors to include shipping fees in item pricing.
