Ahlbin's Homemade

Greenfield, MA

Ahlbin’s owner, Kara, started making Fire Cider in her kitchen for her family with ingredients from her own garden. She’s taken her fine-tuned recipe and made it available to her community. The name “Ahlbin’s” carries on the name of Kara’s ancestors who came to the US from Sweden. Her traditional creations are tried and true and based on traditional folk recipes passed from family to family and generation to generation, tapping into all of our roots.

We make awesome, comfy clothes for the whole family. We know life with kids is never boring — why should children’s clothing be? Our animal print designs make getting dressed fun, simple, and fast. Even for toddlers. More time to explore this wild world together! Our sizes fit all the creatures in your animal kingdom and are one-of-a-kind to express everyone’s individuality.

Barton Beeswax

Belchertown, MA

It is important for us to find products that are healthy, free of toxins, sustainable, eco-friendly. We have made changes to cleaning products, skincare, and foods we eat. Since becoming more conscious of what we are putting in and, on our body, it is also important to know what we are putting into the air of our home. As an avid candle enthusiast, I sought to create a cleaner alternative to traditional candles. This led me to develop beeswax candles with natural fragrances.

Hawksong Weaving

Northampton, MA

Took Storm (any pronouns are fine, but he/they is preferred) is a genderqueer weaver who draws inspiration from nature, his found family, and the twisty turns of life that led them to weaving.
Took works exclusively with thrift store or secondhand yarn (no, not taking apart sweaters or blankets, just utilizing the odd balls of yarn that get donated or gifted) in a way that allows tattered and worn yarn to shine. This process serves to remind himself and others that just because you’ve been worn down by life and pierced back together a few times, doesn’t mean you don’t have value, and that it’s okay to be gentle with yourself while piecing things back together.

Made By Lane Co.

Greenfield, MA

Hi, I'm Elena, the maker behind Made by Lane! I'm a mom of two boys who loves gardening, caring for my chickens, and hiking with my dog.
I create handcrafted gifts designed to bring a little extra joy to daily life. Made by Lane was inspired by my best friend, Jenna, who encouraged me to follow my dream of starting this business. In her honor, I donate a portion of my proceeds to organizations that support survivors of domestic violence.

Thank you for supporting my small business and helping make a difference with every purchase!

Next Granola

Amherst, MA

Not Your Grandmother’s Granola LLC doing business as Next Granola, started in March 2024 as an alternative to commercial granola. In general, granola on the grocery shelves was found to be too sugary—lacking in deliciousness and good nutrition. Wanting the perfect balance of great tasting granola and a granola that was good for you, Next Granola was created. Its recipe was inspired by Nekisia Davis’ Olive Oil and Maple Granola of Early Bird Foods.

Committed to using whole grain and whole foods—no fillers, no extracts, no preservatives, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
