My name is Anneke and together with my husband Gary, we build Made In The Foothills and Made In Okotoks. Together with my hubby, four (adult) kids and our two Weener Doggies , I’ve been in Okotoks for over 10 years and I feel blessed to be a part of this wonderful community. Originally, I’m from The Netherlands, hence my funny name, but I’ve been in Canada for 22 years. I love my new country and the people here are so kind.

As a long-time Maker myself, I always struggled to get my products sold. Of course, you can have a website build, which was easy in my case as my husband is a professional web-designer. However, after the site was all set up it had to be marketed. I used my Facebook page and met a lot of awesome people in FB groups. It brought me some business, but I never really took off.
So here the idea of Made In The Foothills/Okotoks came from. A place for Makers with or without a website can market their business. In just 10 minutes you can set up a webpage with as much as 20 pictures! We hope you enjoy the site and make use of it’s functionality and start making money to buy new art/craft materials ????
