great goods made in bend, oregon
Hello!
Our community is a band of outsiders, here in Bend, Oregon — because we’re always outside. It’s all clear skies and pine air, just the way we like it. We also like beer sipped by the river, mountain biking, and hikes with views of the frosty Cascades. We like all the good dogs and sunshine on our shoulders. It’s no wonder there are so many locally produced goods here — Bend inspires us to create. So we wanted to make easy to find all the makers in Bend. Thus, the idea of this website was born, obviously while drinking outside beers, the same way all good ideas are born.
Cheers!

about us
We’re Pat and Beckey. Pat builds websites, and Beckey writes. Together we have three kids and a pug named Hazel, a fuzzy potato with legs. We love singing with the windows down on road trips, we love sunsets and nachos, and we love Bend, Oregon. We wanted one place to find all the locally grown makers and creators, mainly to satisfy our own curiosity. But we soon realized there are so many talented people here making really great goods!
This site serves as a love letter to Bend and all the cool people making all the cool things.
Keep up the good work, everybody.
