Beyond Flyover: Faces of Midwest Adventure
Temperance + Penn
From stacks of Family Handyman magazines to a workshop filled with reclaimed wood, Grant’s journey to Temperance + Penn is one of creativity, sustainability, and a deep love for the outdoors. He handcrafts adventure-ready gear with a focus on function, longevity, and the stories materials carry with them.
Wilde Bikes
Built for the riders who crave adventure, Wilde Bikes is more than a bike company—it’s a love letter to exploration. Rooted in Minneapolis, Wilde handcrafts steel frames designed for long miles, dirt roads, and the kind of riding that sticks with you. Each frame tells a story—one of craftsmanship, resilience, and the pursuit of something wilder.
The Little Wax Shoppe
In a world of mass production, The Little Wax Shoppe keeps things personal. Hand-pouring small-batch, all-natural candles in Minneapolis, owner Rachel crafts each one with intention—blending nostalgia, sustainability, and scent into a product that feels like home.
