Authentic. Hand-Crafted. High-Country.

Call for Makers: Join The Artisan Outpost Maker’s Market

While our main shop focuses on branded mementos of our region, The Artisan Outpost is where we celebrate the raw talent tucked away in the cabins and workshops of our canyons. This is our curated online maker’s market—a digital storefront dedicated exclusively to the “un-manufactured.”

We believe that true mountain luxury isn’t found in a factory. It’s found in the steady hand of a local woodworker, the patience of a weaver, and the vision of a high-altitude artist.

No Fuss, No Sweat

We Handle the Tech. You Stay Focused on Your Craft.

Are you a local artisan creating high-quality, unique goods? We are currently building our inaugural roster of vendors. We handle the e-commerce technology, tax compliance, and the “city-side” marketing so you never have to leave your workshop to reach a global audience.

The Perks of Partnering With Us:

Your Own Digital Storefront: Each Maker receives a dedicated, beautifully designed page on our site featuring their own online shop.

Tourists Shop Without the Luggage Limits: Give visitors the ability to purchase your goods online and have them shipped directly to their door. This completely eliminates the “it won’t fit in my suitcase” or “it’s too fragile for the flight” barrier that costs local makers countless sales.

Professional Video Production: We will come to your workshop, commercial kitchen, or outdoor space to shoot a high-quality video showcasing your work and craftsmanship to buyers.

Pricing Strategy Support: We help you structure your pricing to seamlessly reflect shipping costs and our community pledge, ensuring your margins are protected.

Zero Financial Risk: Makers are paid in full before any items leave their shop.

Waived Fees: All vendor setup and platform onboarding is 100% free for 2026.

We're Faye and Chris, and we live up here in the Rocky Mountains of Larimer County. Everything on this site comes from actually being out in it — Chris is the driver, and Faye is the writer/photographer. Between us we built the Larimer Wilds apps so other people can find this wild mountain country too. We're not a tourism board and nobody pays us to say any of this. We're two people who love, hike, bike and ride Northwest Larimer County and would rather help you do it right than watch you learn it the hard way.
