Pictured here is me at my very first farmers market in the spring of 2025, showcasing my business, Element Pet. I worked my booty off to get here, and even though my booth didn’t look perfect, I actually did pretty well for my first market!

But once market season ended, my sales dropped to zero. I had a great website and steady traffic, but no online sales. It made me wonder how many of my fellow vendors were facing the same struggle.

I’ve always loved markets — supporting local businesses, discovering unique products, and meeting amazing people in the community. When the season ended, I was genuinely bummed. Then I thought: Why can’t we have that same experience online?

Why can’t there be a place where customers who love supporting small, local businesses can find all of us in one spot?

So — welcome to Tandem Market.

Tandem means working together — vendors and customers side by side, in every community to help one another.
