Find Local Vendors

Local businesses are everywhere. Finding them should be easier.

Local Green Stuff brings independent producers, markets, food hubs, local collectives and trade buyers together in one place. It helps local customers find local options, helps small businesses get discovered, and gives neighbours, chefs, retailers and institutions a simpler way to connect with the producers around them.

Make local buying more practical

By making local producers, makers, and other independent businesses easier to discover, we help turn good intentions into practical everyday support. In a market that is still highly fragmented, we make local options more visible, accessible, and easier to choose, helping them reach customers who want to support local businesses but do not always have the time to seek them out.

Help small businesses get seen

Many independent producers still rely on markets, word of mouth, scattered social media and small standalone websites to get found. Local Green Stuff gives nearby customers, local buyers and the wider community a simpler way to discover them, making small businesses more visible and easier to choose.

Connecting local infrastructure

Local Green Stuff helps people discover markets, food hubs, co-ops and other local distribution networks, while connecting producers, customers and trade buyers in one place. By linking local discovery with supply requests, business listings and community infrastructure, we help make local food and craft economies easier to find, easier to use and easier to support.

Search by area, category and distance to discover growers, bakers, makers, beekeepers, markets, food hubs and other independent producers near you.

Helping local businesses get found

Keep control of your business

Link to your own website, socials, shop, market dates or contact details. Local Green Stuff helps people find you without taking control of your customer relationships.

Rank on locality, not ad spend

Shops appear based on locality and convenience to the searcher, not paid advertising, sponsored placement, or who can afford to pay more for visibility.

No sales commission

Local Green Stuff does not take a percentage of your sales or charge product listing fees. Your revenue stays with your business.

Make local convenient

Many people want to support local businesses but dont have the time to find, then visit a range of producers across their area. Local Green Stuff brings independent producers together in one place, making it far easier to discover and choose local options instead of defaulting to the supermarket.

Part of a local network

We're working to strengthen local economies by connecting producers, encouraging collaboration, and helping communities support the businesses around them.

Be found by trade buyers

Chefs, retailers and institutions can search listings or post supply requests, helping you connect with real local demand. Requests are sent to relevant producers in the right categories and within the buyer’s chosen supply radius, so listed businesses can respond to opportunities that match what they offer, where they supply, and whether they can fulfil all or part of the request.

Why local systems matter

Our mission is to revitalize local economies, empower small businesses, and foster community resilience. By choosing local, your supporting a business model that values quality, community, and the environment.

Convenience shapes where people shop

Most people dont default to supermarkets because they want to but because they gather everything in one place. Local Green Stuff helps independent producers become easier to discover and purchase from in the same way.

Many small producers rely on word of mouth, occasional markets, or social media for discovery. Making these businesses easier to find gives them a better chance to grow and remain viable.

When people buy from and support nearby producers and independent businesses, money remains circulating in local economies, creating more sustainable and vibrant communities.

Supporting local businesses shouldn’t require extra effort, research or time. When local options are visible and convenient they are much easier to suport.
