Earth Artisan & Outfitter 

Earth Artisan & Outfitter outfits people for Life. We specialize in mindfully connecting people to the planet with earth-based & nature-inspired art, goods, gear & guides for home, garden & trail. We are downtown Carlisle’s first and longest operating totally earth-based small business. November 2025 will mark our 12th year in business, with a combined thirty + years experience as artists, educators, arborists, plant healthcare specialists, flyfishing, guides, environmentalists and adventurers.

We are passionate about the earth and the arts, inspiring a close connection to nature, in support of Life Wild and Free. We exist in a beautiful region, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, surrounded by fields, forests, and rivers, public lands, parks, and the Appalachian Trail. Each of these precious natural areas, and the life within, needs to be respected & protected. Our goal is to change the dynamic, provide opportunities to learn, grow, share & create, to bring people together in celebration & support of the place we all call home: Earth. By thinking globally and acting locally, we acknowledge what each of us does creates ripples that are felt near and far. We hope to create positive ripples for all Life Wild & Free, this generation and the next.

Each item in our shop is small batch, carefully curated for the highest quality craftsmanship, form and function. Everything is Earth-Family Tested and Mother Nature Approved, inspired by how we live, work and play and the tools we use and love, each made with sustainability of the planet & her people in mind.

Stop by Earth for a visit and to gather awesome earth-inspired art, photography, goods, gear, and guides to inspire your journey –and bring a little bit of “out there” into your home habitat. Our brick and mortar store is located in a mid-1800’s carriage house at 37 West Chapel Ave in the wilds of historic downtown Carlisle, PA. Get Out & Get Here! Then, Go Take A Hike!
