Overview

Connecticut's manufacturers, producers, farmers and artisans epitomize what is still revolutionary about Connecticut. Their innovative offerings — from craft brew and local wine to advanced technology and distinctive crafts — reflect the diversity and richness of our culture of fresh thinking.

To support these makers and the marketing of their products, the State of Connecticut has created a distinctive Connecticut Made logo to help them brand their offerings. Download an overview of Connecticut Made here.
