      Our Story

      This story starts with a person’s desire to make physical poems.

      Charcuterie boards for yummy cheese? Being useful to farmers? Now that seemed like the epitome of a good time!

      My name is Gerald and I founded this studio, also a Benefit Corporation, to sustainably share geology, support farmers, and explain the history of stone walls.

      We’re from Turtle Island, and American Stonecraft ® is our Benefit Corporation’s legal name. We sustainably source rock, even directly from you via Custom Sourcing!

      I got the idea for this by growing up alongside more than 200,000 miles of stone walls criss-crossing New York and New England. Here, rocks rise to the surface, year after year. I had the curiosity to embark on a long journey.

      Hidden in the soil of ordinary farmers’ fields, lie magical metamorphic rocks, like granite or marble, naturally melted by heat and pressure, and requiring very little energy to pick up, move, cut, and polish. Plus, although there are lots of ordinary rocks around, the beautiful ones we pick to work with are rare, or from special places, making them even more fun to give or collect. Those journeys to our hands took millions of years to bear fruit.
       

      OUR FARMS

      American Stonecraft makes products for Serving, Cooking, and Decorating from the rocky farmland of New England.

      Why? Because rocks rise to the surface, year after year. The farms also have infrastructure to pick up the rocks, and to retail the finished goods.

      Hidden in the soil of ordinary farmers’ fields, lie magical metamorphic rocks, like granite and marble, naturally melted by heat and pressure, and requiring very little energy to pick up, move, cut, and polish, relative to human-made alternatives. Plus, although there are lots of ordinary boring rocks around, the beautiful ones we pick to work with are also rare finds, making them more special to give or collect.
       

      OUR FARMS

      Rivers are upside down mountains, directing water downward. If you look for the pink river, what do you see?

      LEARN WHAT WE MAKE

      No two are alike, each a work of art and a slice of nature. Live edges, organic shapes; just as the glaciers left them. Our team of artisans use custom-made diamond hand tools to slice, sculpt, hone and polish our farm gathered fieldstones, revealing more of their natural beauty. Local stones, hand gathered and handcrafted in small batches; even labeling their origin.
