Meet the Small Businesses Behind Our Mountain Towns’ Comeback Stories

One of the things we love most about working with small businesses in our mountain towns is watching how resilient they are. Every business has a story — and right now, a few of our clients have some exciting, and important, chapters unfolding.

Ouray Meat & Cheese: Rebuilding After Disaster

This summer, fire and floods hit Ouray hard — and Ouray Meat & Cheese has been fighting back ever since.

  • Purchase a gift card
  • Share their story with your network

Every bit of support makes a difference. You can visit them at ouraymeatandcheese.com.

Abby’s Art: The “Don’t Pet the Locals” Sensation

If you’ve spent any time in Jackson Hole, you’ve probably seen Abby’s hilarious artwork. She’s the artist behind the viral “Don’t Pet the Locals” paintings — inspired by that unforgettable Yellowstone bison video where yet another tourist learned the hard way to keep their distance.

Why We Do This Work

We get to work with some pretty amazing small businesses and help share their stories with the people who need to hear them. That’s what makes this job special.

If you’re local, stop by and support them in person. If you’re not, follow their pages, share a post, or place an online order. Those little things really do make a difference — especially for small businesses in our mountain towns.

Here’s to strong mountain communities, and the small businesses that make them so special!

Want Your Business’s Story Told Like This?
