Why Use SteadGoods for Your Local Handmade Goods?

As our friends and neighbors seek to source food and goods in healthier and more responsible ways, there are a lot of different avenues to try and utilize. What makes SteadGoods unique? Let’s consider the ways……

A Singular Purpose
SteadGoods.com isn’t just a site that includes local homegrown goods, it is ONLY for local handmade and homegrown goods. We strive to create an environment that is simple and laser-focused; connecting the cookie-baking grandmother to the apartment dweller growing microgreens to the garage woodworker on the next block. Simple, straightforward exchange of local foods, plants and goods!

Community Connection
Imagine a community where you sourced the kid’s birthday cake from the neighbor, your breakfast eggs from a backyard coop down the street, beeswax candles from the beekeeper across town, and the slingshot for the gift from the wood shop set up in your friends basement. There is no greater cooperative effort and no shorter supply chain than a local town providing for one another.

Environmental Stewardship
Forget the box trucks, boxes, plastic packaging, and fuel required for shipping foods and goods to your grocer or doorstep. Consider what a few truly local purchases does in terms of waste, expense and environmental impact. Now multiply that by hundreds of buyers and sellers exchanging in a condensed local area. Now THAT is impact.

Security & Ease
By integrating the payments for local goods right into our site, SteadGoods partners with payment processors to ensure smooth transactions and financial protections for both parties. Additionally, buyers can rate interactions and goods, ensuring that exchanges between buyers and sellers stay above board and that obligations are met. Messaging takes place within the site and no cash exchanges happen in person. Finally, sellers can easily accept card payments without their own hardware, making both buying and selling accessible for the average member.
