Our Story
Gathered was born from a simple belief: small businesses deserve a place to belong.
As small business owners ourselves, we know what it's like to pour your heart into something you love. We know the late nights, the market weekends, the kitchen counters covered in orders, and the constant balancing act of creating while trying to figure out how to grow.
We also know that there are so many incredibly talented people in our community whose gifts deserve to be seen.
That's why we created Gathered.
Not just as a store, but as a place where local businesses can grow together instead of growing alone.
We wanted to create the kind of place we'd always hoped existed...a warm, welcoming shop filled with beautiful, handcrafted products, where every shelf tells someone's story and every purchase supports a real person & family chasing a dream.
When you walk through our doors, you're not shopping from a corporation. You're supporting the mom baking sourdough before sunrise... The artist painting after the kids go to bed... The woodworker perfecting every detail by hand... The candle maker, the gardener, the crafter, the creator.
Every item here has a face and story behind them.
Gathered is built on the idea that community is stronger than competition. We believe there's room for all of us to succeed, and that when we choose to support local, we're investing in our neighbors, our families, and the place we call home.
Our faith has also shaped who we are. It reminds us to serve with kindness, lead with integrity, and create a space where everyone feels genuinely welcomed. While people come from all walks of life, we hope everyone who visits Gathered leaves feeling a little more connected than when they arrived.
Whether you're visiting for the first time, searching for the perfect gift, or simply stopping in to wander the aisles, we're so glad you're here.
Thank you for supporting local dreams.
We're grateful you've chosen to gather with us.
Every maker we work with brings something unique to the table—whether it’s a traditional craft, a modern interpretation, or a story waiting to be told. We intentionally curate our collections to reflect quality, authenticity, and heart, ensuring that every item shared through Gathered is thoughtfully made and responsibly offered.
More than a marketplace, Gathered is a space for connection and growth. We aim to uplift small businesses by providing opportunities to share their work, build relationships, and grow sustainably. As part of the Uproot & Rise community, we are committed to nurturing creativity and helping makers rise—together.
