Small town peace and quiet nurtures craftsmanship.

For rural business, being in a small town can be a problem: there's a limited pool of customers, and shipping products hundreds of miles is expensive.

But there are businesses that benefit from the peace and quiet away from the city.

Kristian Foden-Vencil visited a clockmaker in Sisters and reports that 40 years of quiet dedication are now paying off. May 11, 2010

The Rural Economy Project

The Rural Economy Project is a partnership between community organizations and Oregon Public Broadcasting to showcase the stories of successful entrepreneurs, people trying to make ends meet, and communities working to build stable, vital economies in Oregon’s rural towns. The stories are designed to inspire sustainable community building and raise awareness of RIPPLE resources available to small business owners and the unemployed.
