we are connected
in our beautiful diversity
There exists a beautiful intersect where craft and culture meet. In this space we are reminded that we are connected to each other and to the earth. At Cultiverre, we hold this relationship in the highest regard, which is why we invite you to join us on this journey of redefining modern commerce.
We believe in the power of craftsmanship and artisanal work. Cultiverre's team works directly with artisans - both close to home and all over the globe - as we strive to support handmade goods without exploiting the communities, resources and cultures from which they derive.
We believe wholeheartedly that handmade objects radiate and spread the positive, creative energy they are birthed from. It is our goal to bring this sense of connection + interrelatedness to you, your home and your wellbeing with beautiful artisan made wares you can feel good about buying.
tending to beauty: a journey of intentional living
To cultivate a life of beauty is to weave moments of grace into the fabric of everyday existence. It is the quiet art of noticing—the way light filters through a window at dawn, the soft rustle of leaves in the wind, or the quiet ritual of pouring tea. Beauty thrives in the simple and the sacred, in how we honor the spaces we inhabit and the people we cherish. It is found in the rhythm of a mindful breath, the tenderness of tending to ourselves and others, and in creating with intention, whether through word, craft, or love. In cultivating beauty, we invite a deeper connection to the world around us, allowing our lives to bloom in quiet, radiant harmony.
a little more about us
Cultiverre is a small, family run business, founded in 2018 by two dreamers - Christina + Mark Kwasniewski. Together with our four young children, we’ve built our home + business amongst the rolling bluffs of the Driftless Region along the Mississippi River, on the traditional land of the Sauk and Meskwaki people. We are dedicated to living in harmony + reciprocity with the land.
Cultiverre's goals are simple:
+ to cultivate beauty
+ to honor the earth
+ to embrace gratitude
+ to celebrate diversity
+ to live with intentionality
+ to nurture a nesting instinct
+ to spread joy
We cherish the poetry of simple things: the honey glow of the golden hour, the dewy grass carpeted in clover + violet, the perfect union of cardamom + rose blooming together in a cup of tea. Cultiverre is a living expression of our gratitude for the natural gifts around and within us.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. We're forever grateful. xx

embracing an ethos of mindfulness
At Cultiverre, mindfulness is woven into the heart of everything we do. We are deeply aware of the impact we have, both individually and collectively, and we approach each decision with thoughtful intention.
As an eco-minded business, we take our packaging decisions into serious consideration, weighing the overall impact our choices have upon both human and natural resources.
We strive to constantly lower our environmental footprint through innovation, research and creative solutions. We opt for recycled and recyclable packaging whenever possible and prioritize biodegradable, compostable, plastic-free materials. No selection has been overlooked, from packing stickers made from the plant fiber waste of sugarcane, to eco-friendly shipping labels + packing tape, to biodegradable packing peanuts made from organic vegetable starch. Our packaging is a reflection of our dedication to minimizing waste.
When a maker we work with packages their products in a less than desirable way - using plastic, bubblewrap or styrofoam - we do our best to alert you in our product descriptions, allowing you to choose with intention and align your purchases with the values you hold dear.
In embracing this ethos of mindfulness, we aim to create a ripple of consciousness that nurtures both the planet and the communities we serve.
