Front Porch Alabama is a celebration of the people, places and experiences that make our state the place we love to call home. Our team scours the state searching for the businesses, artists and makers who are sharing their passion through unique shopping experiences and products. Through our travels to communities large and small, we have discovered quaint shopping districts full of local personality and the friendliest people. More often than not, when we meet new merchants, they can’t wait to share our story with their network of fellow shop owners and friends. It’s this spirit of sharing that is the driving force behind Front Porch Alabama—a community with a common passion of supporting our state gathered around a virtual Front Porch!
Front porches have always been a place for connecting and sharing stories—and that’s exactly what we’re doing in our “News from Our Front Porch” blog. Here you’ll find specially crafted collections of products to help you discover the best of Alabama during every season, holiday and celebration. We’ll also profile the entrepreneurs featured on our site—what drives them to work the long hours of retail, where they find inspiration for their locally made goods, and how they give back to their community. You will get to know the folks behind the products on Front Porch Alabama.
“As friends and family have always gathered on porches to share what they love, we are here to share with you the good stories and quality products that reflect the culture, style, history, food, and people that make us proud to live in Alabama.”
Thank you stopping by our Front Porch! While you’re here, we hope you will engage with shops you know and don’t know ultimately finding lots of good stuff that will enhance your life. Spread the word with your family and friends to help us grow our community and support local businesses on a statewide basis. We’re always looking to hear from our shoppers so please feel free to share new shops or products you’d like to see on Front Porch Alabama!
