Too often, the people growing our food, raising animals, preserving harvests, making things by hand, and keeping valuable skills alive don’t get the recognition they deserve.

Today, we want to give you your flowers 🌺

Farmers, Homesteaders, Gardeners, Growers, Beekeepers, Flower Growers, and Producers — this one is for YOU 💚👍

At Upcycle CHQ we see the value you bring to our communities, local economy, and way of life. Your hard work, knowledge, creativity, and resourcefulness help make our communities stronger.

We’d love to celebrate you

What do you grow, raise, make, or produce?

Share a photo and tell us a little about what you’re working on this season.

Let’s show some love to the people who help feed, supply, and inspire our communities. 💚

What if one of the most valuable resources in our community isn’t something we throw away… but something we’ve forgotten to use?

Our communities are filled with people who know how to sew, repair, garden, paint, build, preserve food, crochet, quilt, carve, weld, upholster, and create.

Many of these skills are sitting quietly, waiting to be shared.

At UpcycleCHQ, we’re not just interested in reusing materials—we’re interested in reusing and activating the incredible skills that already exist in our communities.

A skill shared is a skill preserved. A skill taught can inspire a lifetime.

What skill do you have that you’d be willing to share with someone else?
