Bringing the best of the South home to you

For nearly ten years, the Local Palate has shared stories of Southern makers, products, ingredients, and more. Today, we’re bringing the magazine to life through the Local Palate Marketplace, an e-commerce destination featuring a curated selection of Southern artisan goods for your kitchen, table, pantry, and bar. We scouted for items across the South and handpicked every product on the site, from local snacks and sweets to expertly crafted cookware and cutlery. In addition to offering products, our Marketplace showcases the region’s most talented makers, sharing the stories behind the people and communities that define the South. Our holiday gift guide provides a taste of what you’ll find on the site, with something for everyone on your list.
