WHY WE DO IT

Community

Yep, we’re a small community, but we’ve got big talent, big ambition and big love for one another here. The Collective exists to support local artisans and entrepreneurs by providing an on-the-square home base to showcase their hand forged, homemade and uniquely curated goods.

Conversation

There are a bunch of chairs around here. Comfy chairs, antique chairs, rocking chairs. It’s kind of our thing. Because we believe that conversation matters. That life is just better after catching up with old friends or chatting with new ones. So swing by The Collective, pull up a chair and sit with us awhile. You can pick up some really great gifts while you’re here too!

Karla & Dave

They’re just a little off their rocker. But they love this community. And they’re committed to seeing it grow and thrive.

"The Collective is more than a great place to shop for gifts for yourself and others. It's so inviting and makes you feel at home. The girls and I love to stop by for a photo op with the inflatable decor out front and then they can browse around or grab a chair inside to take a break. Also, I'm guilty of coming in just to chat with Karla - if you haven't met her you're missing out."
