Artisan Food

What does Artisan Food mean to you?

When IndieMe thinks of Artisan Foods, we think of small batch, handcrafted style foods using non industrialized methods, and recipes handed down through generations.

We think delicious.

When you buy handcrafted food items, the ingredients are familiar, and you can be sure it is natural and fresh. Whether you are searching for decadent chocolates, homemade honey or curated spices for your favorite dish, our Artisan Foods marketplace has it all. Food brings us together and it feeds the soul.

Bon Appetit’.

About Artisan Food

Welcome to the IndieMe Marketplace.

We are the premiere online marketplace for buyers to connect with amazing makers 24/7. IndieMe has been in business for 23 years and we continue to be a leader and innovator as the wholesale marketplace for retailers to source over 150k handcrafted products.

On IndieMe we never take a commission. Your store is your store, and your orders are all yours. Artists pay a low monthly web service fee and enjoy the freedom and power of selling their products knowing they never pay a commission on any orders they receive.

We are the only 100% handcrafted wholesale platform with an integrated shopping cart. Buyers can browse, add items to their carts and place orders all in one place. Every artist is juried in, with all products made in either the US or Canada, so buyers never have to guess or spend wasted time weeding through non handcrafted items.

When you join our new Artisan Food marketplace, YOU make the decisions on shipping, payment methods, specials, and lead times. We are excited to offer our 16k registered retailers a separate platform designated just for food and beverage, while enjoying the ease and familiarity of the IndieMe website.

We are happy you are here and look forward to a long and successful partnership.
