Makers Market Co-Op by Big Red Homestead is a shared indoor retail space in Galloway, New Jersey (South Jersey / Atlantic County area), specifically at 319 E. Jimmie Leeds Road, Suite 802 (also referenced in connection with Risley Square), Galloway, NJ
It brings together local makers, artisans, farmers, and small producers under one roof. The tagline emphasizes “Makers, Artisans, Farmers all in one space!!” It functions as a co-op/marketplace where vendors offer handmade, homemade, and locally sourced goods year-round, rather than only at weekend outdoor markets.
Big Red Homestead, the operator/family behind it, is a first-generation homesteading family business in Galloway. They raise chickens for eggs, focus on sustainable living and animal care, sell homemade and locally sourced products, and host educational workshops (especially sourdough). They also produce their own Homestead Wellness Collection (room & linen sprays, facial serum, natural cleaners, bath soaks, essential oils, hand/face/body/hair washes, herbal teas, honey, and more).
What you’ll find:
Handmade crafts, artisan goods, and unique gifts
Local food items: eggs, honey, sourdough bread (pre-orders available), local beef meat boxes (in partnership with regenerative farms like Maple Crest Farm), pantry staples, jams, salsas, hot sauces, etc.
Natural/wellness products from Big Red Homestead and other makers.
“The Nook” — a grab-and-go / gather-and-graze area in the back with cold-pressed juices, lemonades, coffee, ready-to-eat meals, cookies, granola, and other local treats
The atmosphere is described as cozy and inviting, with a small-gift-shop feel showcasing local artists and handmade items.
