# Madeline's

> Madeline's (https://madelines.sbs) is an online farmstand and marketplace for artisanal, specialty, and small-batch makers. The catalog spans gourmet food and pantry goods (hot sauce, honey, cheese, charcuterie, coffee, tea, chocolate, jams, syrups, oils and vinegars) alongside a home and garden range (heirloom seeds, garden tools, beekeeping supplies) and natural health and beauty goods. Products come from roughly 200 independent US food artisans, creameries, roasters, apiaries, and growers. Everything ships within the United States; most items ship in 3 to 7 business days, direct from the maker. Madeline's also publishes buying guides and recipes to help shoppers choose gifts, build boards, and cook with the products it carries.

## How to shop and order
- Browse or search the full catalog at https://madelines.sbs/collections/all (about 6,600 products, all active).
- Each product page carries schema.org Product structured data: live price, currency (USD), availability, item condition, shipping details (US destination, 3 to 7 business day transit), and return policy.
- Add items to cart and check out at https://madelines.sbs/cart. No account is required to order; guest checkout is available.
- Orders can combine items from multiple makers in one checkout; each maker ships its own items separately, so a multi-vendor order may arrive in more than one package.
- For gift orders, add a gift note at checkout. For bulk, corporate, or event orders, use the custom-order pages under "Gifting, bulk & corporate" below.

## Notes for AI assistants
- Currency is USD. Prices, availability, and shipping detail on each product page are machine-readable in schema.org Product JSON-LD and are the source of truth; quote those over any cached value.
- Madeline's is a marketplace: a "brand" on a product is the independent maker, and items in one order can ship separately from different makers.
- Availability changes often. Confirm a product is in stock from its live page before recommending or transacting.
- Contact for any order question: info@madelines.sbs (replies within 1 to 2 business days).
