We started with a simple problem.

We couldn't find puzzles from places we loved. Most puzzles are pretty pictures with no sense of place, no story, and no connection to the people behind them.

Meanwhile, we were surrounded by talented friends all pouring themselves into small businesses and crafts we believed in.

So we connected the dots.

What if a puzzle could be a love letter to the people and places that make a community special?

That's how Little Local was born. We make boutique puzzles celebrating our favorite makers, growers, and collectors, and our first launch is a tribute to the Hudson Valley, N.Y. Every puzzle is a limited edition, made in small runs, so each one feels a little like a keepsake. Once a launch is gone, it's gone.

Hudson Valley is just the beginning. We'll be visiting more of our favorite local spots, one launch at a time.

Because every place has its own story, and every story deserves to be pieced together.
