CULTIVATING CONNECTIONS

By creating a dynamic marketplace where the public + creative doers can meet, we are building a community of like-minded people: Collaborations, creative entrepreneurs, and the people that want to buy small-batch goods.

WHY SHOP LOCAL?

When you shop local you support creative entrepreneurs, dreamers + doers, passionate communities, and you boost your local economy. Freewheeling craft provides a platform for you to connect to the people that make your stuff.

OUR POPUP SHOPS

Not only do we host inspiring marketplaces, we take local goods and popup in dynamic neighbourhoods. Visit us at 432 1/2 Preston st for our popup shop featuring 100+ made in Canada brands, take a creative diy workshop, and learn the stories behind the goods you buy.

Community Love

We owe you so much. Having accepted us last year was inspiring, fun and gave us the necessary faith to never let down. Thanks to you, we began to think that something was possible.
Brice, Baltic Club

"Thank you for everything that you do to keep shopping local relevant + fun".

You always have the best vendors! I always leave having discovered so many new brands... and spending way more money than I expected! Thank you for helping me discover local brands
