Following enactment of the Reclamation Act, the first federally constructed dam broke ground in Arizona's Salt River Valley in 1905. With the inauguration of Roosevelt Dam, the distant dream of an abundant life in the desert became a reality. The dam and farmer-operated water distribution system tamed the vicious drought, created arable land and became an irrigation model for the West. With the water came farmers and families, all eager for the chance to build new lives and communities. Many were just like the Haley family, farmers from Kentucky and Missouri who settled in the area and whose descendants still call the valley home. Follow their journey and discover a snapshot of the life and community that grew from the ditches of the valley. Author Meredith Haley Whiteley explores this story from the ordinary person's perspective, weaving valley history through drought, loss, plenty and joy.

How it all started

Born from a search for belonging. Grown through gratitude and community.

Our values

What began as a gratitude practice now guides everything we choose to carry.

What We Strive For

Every item in our shop is selected with intention. We work with makers and brands who care about quality, craft, and community as much as we do. Our goal isn’t to chase trends, but to offer pieces that feel good to give, receive, and keep for years.

Rooted in Place

We’re inspired by the people, stories, and landscapes that make Arizona special. The products you find here come from creators who share that same appreciation and put heart into what they make. We choose pieces that celebrate connection, creativity, and a sense of home.

Curated with Care

We spend time getting to know the makers behind the items we carry and choose products we believe add something meaningful—whether that’s joy, usefulness, or a spark of inspiration. We do our best to support thoughtful craftsmanship and responsible production whenever possible.

Our Commitment

We aim to offer items that reflect the values behind Why I Love Where I Live: gratitude, creativity, and community care. While every maker works differently, we choose to partner with those who prioritize quality and authenticity in their craft.
