The Maker Storyz Project, a not-for-profit endeavor begun in June 2023, profiles and promotes companies that make something unique from scratch, or nearly from scratch, be they farmers or bakers, instrument makers or sugar makers, people who make fancy sauces or swanky bags, delicious chocolate or beautiful knives.
We do this because we believe it is vital to support and promote locally-made products and producers, and because we love sharing the stories of our creative community.
We started with the intent of merely telling the story of makers in our home state, Vermont, but now (in 2026) are exploring the best way to expand our scope and reach by telling stories of makers no matter where they are.
How to Join: To participate, a maker should have an active business, have a website, and be active on social media. Simply fill out the form here. That will add you to our database. We can't profile everyone, but we will do our best to capture and share stories about a diverse range of businesses and makers. There is no cost to makers to be profiled or featured.
When: A new feature story is released on our website every month and is also shared on sponsor websites and social media channels, with copious cross-linking to the featured maker’s channels.
