Local Artisans & their products
The Niagara region is home to an amazing array of artisans offering truly noteworthy creations. We have sourced products from award-winning cheese makers and internationally-renowned vineyards to local artisans who create unique items such as all natural skin care products, lavender-infused soaps and hand-made toys for babies and children. We bring together and integrate the work of this disparate group of artists so our baskets serve as a tribute to their exceptional work. These artisans offer a unique attention to detail, a love of what they're doing, inspiring stories and often preserving their heritage (or family recipes) while fostering innovation. We're proud to support the efforts of locally-owned businesses.
