| Why homegrown, handmade and handcrafted? |
1. Products are Unique. Handcrafted products are truly unique and many are one-of-a-kind. Artisans and
crafters draw on their individual backgrounds and experiences when developing and creating their products.
2. Products are not mass produced and are superior quality. Handcrafted products can't be produced
overseas or on a production line. They are painstakingly crafted with dedication, love, and a passion to
create by each artisan and crafter.
3. We want to support our local artisans and crafters. What better way to support these artisans and crafter
than to give them a place to showcase their products and give the world an opportunity to purchase their
products.
4. To keep these skills alive. Many of these crafts are a dying skill. We want to keep these skills alive and pass
them down to the future generations.
5. Develop an appreciation for handcrafted arts and crafts. Many handcrafted products are very labor intensive.
By showcasing these items we hope that others will learn from, and appreciate, the skill needed for an
individual to create such exceptional products.
