Every Great Community Has Great People.

Behind every small business, local event, and thoughtful collaboration are people who care deeply about what they do. This is where we celebrate the makers, entrepreneurs, and community members inspiring us every day.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

HERStory Night

An intimate evening created for women to share the stories they have been carrying, listen without judgment, and connect through honest conversation.

Rustic MAKA was proud to serve as the Sip Sponsor.

Rustic MAKA at HERStory Night

We came to HERStory Night expecting to meet incredible women. We left with a much deeper appreciation for the stories people carry quietly every day. Listening to one woman after another share her journey was a powerful reminder that there is always more happening beneath the surface, and that choosing to speak openly can create connection in ways we may never expect.

One of the most meaningful moments was hearing others describe the impact our sister, Aleks, has had on their lives. Seeing her through their eyes made us incredibly proud. Sharing the evening with our mom made it even more special. We left feeling inspired, grateful, and honored to represent Rustic MAKA as the Sip Sponsor for a night built around courage, honesty, and community.

SHARED VALUES

Finding Good Company

One of our favorite parts of growing Rustic MAKA is meeting people who genuinely care about helping others make healthier choices. Dave and Melissa Coulier created Awear Market to make discovering trusted, non-toxic products simpler while supporting the small businesses behind them.

We're grateful to have Rustic MAKA included alongside so many thoughtful brands and even more grateful for Dave and Melissa's encouragement and belief in what we're building. Their commitment to wellness, community, and lifting up small makers is exactly the kind of company we're proud to keep.
