Homegrown & Rising
The story of building Southern Buffalo Mercantile by hand and by heart.
Welcome to the behind-the-scenes journal of Southern Buffalo Mercantile. This isn’t just a blog—it’s a living, breathing account of what it looks like to build a business from the kitchen counter up. From first batches to big dreams, burnout to breakthroughs, this space holds the real stuff: the lessons, the messes, the magic, and the moments in between.
Here, you’ll find updates on what we’re creating, reflections from the road, and glimpses into the spirit guiding it all. Whether you're a fellow maker, a dreamer in the middle of the hard parts, or just someone who loves a good handmade story—we're glad you're here.
We’re homegrown. And we’re still rising.
