Our Story

A family with a company.

Earth+Kin launched in 2022 from a garage in Lincoln, MA. A gathering of friends and neighbors loaded boxes, printed shipping labels and returned emails to help deliver our first Kickstarter campaign. From there our story has grown to one of inspiration where adventure meets intentionality, and every product is a testament to the magic that happens when neighbors help neighbors. We’ve found our path substantially more complicated than simply selling products, but without a mission we opted not to exist. With backgrounds in design, engineering and mental health we decided:

Our products will help us get outside.

Our products must be designed for outdoor adventure. We didn’t set out to “reinvent hauling” but essentially that’s the journey we found ourselves on…finding better ways to get us outdoors with our friends. Hopefully yours, too.

Our products won’t be made with cheap plastics nor disposable products.

We never want to hear “Dad, can you fix this, again….”

Our products can be an engine….

As much as we love our products, their primary goal is to fuel our mission. We started the the e+k Foundation, Ltd. and contribute 2% of revenue to investing in Land+Family across the U.S. We aim to pass the next generation something genuine, and this revenue stream enables us to put our dreams into action. Our measuring stick is family and our playground is nature. Two things we’ll never cease fighting for….earth+kin.
