Artisan Monthly: What You Shop is What You Get

Buzz / Artisan Monthly

At its core, shop small is the idea that what you shop is what you get. Ohanga’s partnership with local businesses means everything available in our monthly subscriptions is made by real people, for real people. Part farmer’s market, part flea market, Artisan Monthly is your staples made by local artists and artisans.

Artisan Monthly, made in Rhode Island

Artisan Monthly has the variety of your local farmer’s market, now brought to your doorstep. Our network of local RI farms and small artisanal businesses provide pantry and household staples that can be purchased at the same price or less as grocery stores. Our subscription boxes are all-local and also the most convenient that shopping has ever been, saving subscribers time and money.

Artisan Monthly is Eco-friendly

True to Ohanga’s hyperlocal Rhode Island roots, Artisan Monthly is both economical and environmentally-friendly. Fair trade practices go hand-in-hand with sustainability. The waste that goes into food creation can be deceptive, and what you see in the grocery store is only the tip of the iceberg. With packaging and transportation taken into account, the impact of shopping where food comes from anywhere is exponentially greater. That is why our gourmet subscriptions focus on local farmers.

Artisan Monthly is Your Values

The importance of shopping small is that once local businesses are gone, they can’t come back. This goes for the brewery around the corner to the local RI farm 15 minutes from your house. Larger companies will fill the gap, meaning more distance, miles, and packaging without the same love and attention to detail small businesses bring to the table. These businesses with unique quirks define the flavor your local community; these are also the places where your money goes the furthest.
