We are proud to announce the newest addition to our Main Street Collective family: Poor Hog Customs. Based in Meridian, Mississippi, this husband-and-wife team has built a name for themselves through craftsmanship, creativity, and heart.

Every design tells a story, every detail matters, and every product is created to last. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome them into our growing community of makers, artisans, and dreamers.

The Story Behind Poor Hog Customs

The heart of Poor Hog Customs lies in the partnership of Amanda and Adam. Together, they have created a business that blends creativity with precision. Amanda leads with her artistic vision, always brimming with fresh ideas and new design concepts. She has an eye for detail, a love of storytelling, and the ability to take an idea and bring it to life in ways that surprise and delight.

Adam complements her perfectly, taking on the technical and mechanical side of production. From handling the laser equipment to ensuring every engraving is sharp, clean, and durable, Adam provides the balance of precision and problem-solving that allows Amanda’s designs to shine. Their partnership is not just about running a business; it’s about teamwork, family, and building something together that they can share with the world.

The name Poor Hog Customs is memorable, playful, and deeply rooted in their personality as a couple. It reflects their humor, their authenticity, and their desire to create something approachable and fun. While their products are beautiful and meaningful, the brand name itself reminds us not to take life too seriously. It sets the tone for a business that is grounded, relatable, and filled with heart.

 

What They Create

Poor Hog Customs specializes in laser-cut and engraved keepsakes that can be personalized for any occasion. Their product range is wide, diverse, and always evolving. Some of their most popular creations include:

  • Custom jewelry pieces such as earrings with layered wood and acrylic designs, often themed around nature, faith, or playful Southern motifs.
  • Seasonal ornaments that make holidays and milestones more meaningful, often customized with names, dates, or family sayings.
  • Photo frames and heirlooms that capture memories in tangible form, whether engraved with handwriting, special quotes, or images that hold personal value.
  • Mississippi-themed patches and regional pride items that celebrate local identity and community spirit.
  • Decorative keepsakes designed to bring joy to everyday life, with messages of love, encouragement, or humor.

What truly sets Poor Hog Customs apart is the level of personalization they offer. Customers can provide their own handwriting, favorite quotes, or meaningful symbols, and Amanda and Adam will bring those ideas to life in a way that is both beautiful and lasting. This ability to create truly one-of-a-kind gifts ensures that each piece carries emotional weight.

The Heart of Their Work

At the center of Poor Hog Customs is the belief that gifts should mean something. In a world full of mass-produced products, they take pride in creating pieces that carry stories and connect people. Whether it’s a necklace engraved with a grandmother’s handwriting, an ornament marking a child’s first Christmas, or a keepsake honoring a family pet, their work is about memory, connection, and meaning.

Their Southern roots are also present in everything they do. Their products have a warmth and authenticity that reflect the values of home, family, and faith. You can feel the sense of pride they take in celebrating where they come from, and that spirit carries over to their customers, who often seek them out for items that feel both personal and deeply tied to tradition.

Poor Hog Customs is not simply about creating products; it’s about creating experiences. When someone gives or receives one of their handmade items, it becomes a moment, a memory, and a symbol of something important. That ability to turn raw materials into meaningful keepsakes is what makes them stand out.
