As the holidays approach, there’s something truly special about shopping close to home — where every purchase has a story, every product is made with heart, and every dollar strengthens our community. At Bathhouse Trading Co., we’ve always believed that supporting local makers isn’t just good for business — it’s good for everyone.
This season, we’re especially excited to celebrate one of our favorite local creators — MAD Farm, who will be hosting their Grand Opening on November 1st 9AM-3PM! Their offerings include delicious infused honeys made from their own hives and a delightful assortment of handmade treats, each one crafted with the kind of care you can only find from a small, passionate maker.
🌾 Why Supporting Local Matters
When you choose to shop local, your impact reaches far beyond the checkout counter. You’re helping families like ours — and MAD Farm’s — continue to create, grow, and give back to the community we love. Local makers keep dollars circulating within the community, create local jobs, and bring creativity and authenticity to every handmade good they produce.
From the rich golden honey harvested right here in Southeast Kansas to the handcrafted soaps and self-care essentials we create at Bathhouse Trading Co., every locally made product carries a bit of the heartland in it — reminding us that quality, care, and connection never go out of style.
🎁 How to Support Local This Season
The best part? Supporting local is easy — and meaningful. Here are a few simple ways to make a difference this holiday season:
Shop early, shop small. Visit MAD Farm’s Grand Opening on November 1st to discover their infused honeys and handmade treats, then swing by Bathhouse Trading Co. for handcrafted self-care gifts and home essentials.
Give gifts that tell a story. Choose local goods that carry the spirit of home — from sweet honey to soothing soaps.
Share your favorites. Tag local makers on social media or tell a friend — your recommendation goes further than you think!
Plan a local shopping day. Enjoy the charm of small-town stores, stop for coffee, and explore all the creativity that makes our community shine.
We’re proud to be part of a local maker community that values quality, connection, and heart. This season, let’s continue to lift one another up — because when you shop small, you help something big grow.
