At It Was Made Here, we romanticize getting up early to milk the cows and harvest your own vegetables, as well as using handmade natural products and cosmetics. Or even going to the Farmer’s Market to see, smell, touch the products and talk to the people who produced them.
But in a busy city life, it is not always possible to go buy directly from the producers. This is why we prepared a list of shops for you to visit if you want to find local products in the Granite City. This list is non-exhaustive so if you want to share your favorite local shop, leave us a comment below!
