Our Story

Jack grew up in the English countryside with a passion for woodworking and an appreciation for quality handmade goods. He learned to value tradition, craftsmanship and integrity – all values passed down from his father. Years later, he moved to Toronto, Canada and started Son Of A Woodcutter Inc – which is today known as Acre Made.

Danielle grew up in a small town not far from the location of Acre Made’s current production facility. She later lived in Toronto and Montreal, where an extensive career in the fashion industry ignited a passion for design and fulfilling the unique needs of clients. Together the duo brings strong design skills, quality craftsmanship and a high level of customer service to all of Acre Made’s clients.

After 10 successful years of production in Toronto, we decided we wanted more room to breathe, the ability to slow life down a bit and build our dream workspace. What we found was a rural property with a home, a garden, barns and the perfect 10,000 sq ft production facility all right on the property. This new space has enabled us to build a higher quality product while minimizing waste and our impact on the environment (all the while saying a big goodbye to commercial rent in Toronto!)

In our new home we are able to enjoy time outside with our dogs and a slower way of living, all while building beautiful pieces of furniture. We like to think we have created a balance of country living while still having strong ties to the city and the Toronto culture that we still have so much of a passion for.
