About Make Local Habit

Make Local Habit Grass Valley CandlesMake Local Habit opened in September of 2009 and was originally located on E. Main Street in Grass Valley. We have since expanded, and relocated to 122 Mill Street, a few doors down from Yuba Blue. We are proudly home to more than 145 local artisans, and feature only locally produced, unique items from Nevada County.

Aria Harding, owner and operator, opened Make Local Habit with a strong commitment to supporting local artists and the local economy. A Nevada County native her entire life, she was familiar with the vast amount of creativity and talent alive and well in Nevada County.

Since moving to Mill Street in Grass Valley, Aria joined forces with Keri Travis, owner of Violet Sprout. Keri offers unique items for children, with a wide selection of Waldorf themed items.
