Shops for makers
A shop of your own in an afternoon, with your products, classes and events in front of local shoppers.
Start sellingAbout us
Local food should be easy to find and easy to sell.
Butter & Sage Market connects the people who make amazing local food with the neighbors who’ve been looking for them. The baker two streets over. The gardener with more tomatoes than she knows what to do with. The small farm without a website that makes the best eggs you’ve ever tasted.
Our mission
The food chain is broken. We’re helping fix it.
Fresh ingredients from your neighbors’ kitchens and gardens shouldn’t be hard to find. A home baker or a small farm shouldn’t need a marketing degree and a web developer just to sell what they make. And the money we spend on food should stay in the community it came from.
So we give local food makers the tools and the audience they need, and we give shoppers one place to find them. Fresh, local and sustainable shouldn’t be a nice idea. It should be your Tuesday grocery run.
- Your dollars stay local. Fewer food miles, less waste, more money for the people who grew or baked it.
- Small businesses break through. We handle the storefront, the marketing and the discovery, so makers stay in the kitchen.
- Healthier communities. More good, local food for all of us.
Meet the makers down the road.
Real people, real kitchens, real close.

Hi, I’m Amy. So glad you’re here.
I’ve spent 25+ years as a marketing exec and business leader in corporate America, but let’s be honest, that’s the snooze-worthy stuff. The fun stuff? I’m a wife, mom, grandma and proud dog-mom to two spoiled furballs.
A health scare ten years ago opened my eyes to how powerful food really is. I was told, “Cook more at home — you’ll do better.” Cutting seed oils, processed junk and artificial everything changed the game for me and my family.
Food straight from the garden beats anything you’ll find in a store, but keeping up with healthy cooking, good ingredients and a garden takes time most of us don’t have. Small businesses, farms and neighborhood gardeners are the backbone of a better food chain, so I’m putting my decades of marketing and technical experience to work for them.
I hope you’ll join me!

Why we do it
The love of food, and the people who make it.
Food that’s good for you
Good for our bodies, our families and the planet. That starts with knowing who grew it and who baked it.
Local love
Our makers support their neighbors and share what’s fresh and grown with care. Every order makes your local food system a little stronger.
More makers, more choices
Every maker who thrives here shows the next one it can be done, and that means more local food for all of us.
Come for the sourdough. Stay for the neighbors.
