The Craftery Market Ownership Update - Summer 2025

A Message from Jessica Jackson, Founder & Previous Owner

Dear Craftery Market Community, 

After nearly a decade of pouring my heart into The Craftery Market, it’s time for me to turn the page and begin a new chapter. It’s a bittersweet moment—this journey has been one of the most meaningful of my life, and that’s all thanks to you: the makers, the customers, the dear friends I’ve made, and the supporters who helped shape this beautiful community.

I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, and even more excited for what’s ahead—because The Craftery Market is in wonderful hands.

I’m thrilled to introduce the new owners, longtime supporters and friends of myself and of the market. Steph and Dan Emr are no strangers to our community—Steph was right there beside me at our very first outdoor market, and her love for handmade, thoughtful goods and the creative community runs deep. I couldn’t think of a more thoughtful, dedicated person to carry The Craftery forward. 

This isn’t goodbye—it’s a heartfelt thank you. Thank you for your belief, your creativity, and your trust over the years. I’m so excited to see how The Craftery continues to grow under new leadership, and I know amazing things are ahead. You can be sure that I’ll be cheering from the sidelines and I’ll see you at the next Craftery Market!

With love and gratitude,
Jessica Jackson

PS. I hope you’ll follow along with my journey at @wheatandvineprovisions! 

A Message from Steph Emr, New Owner

Dear Craftery Market Family,

I’m incredibly honored to introduce myself as the new owner of The Craftery Market!

Over the past eight years, it’s been a joy to be part of these markets. Watching them grow and evolve has been such an exciting journey. I’ve loved meeting so many of you and discovering the unique, handcrafted creations that make each event so special. My daughter and I always leave The Market with our bags (and hearts) full.

The Craftery Market is something truly wonderful, thanks to the vision and dedication of my lifelong friend, Jessica Jackson. Jess built a beautiful, community-centered event, and I’m deeply grateful for the chance to carry that vision forward.

As I step into this role, I’m committed to continuing the quality and spirit you’ve come to expect, while also bringing my energy and ideas to future markets.

I can’t wait to connect with each of you at our upcoming fall events!

Warmly,
Steph Emr
