Making is a social movement that has gained currency in Europe and North America. Making is a heterogeneous movement that includes many ramifications，and encompasses many other trends at once. Making encapsulates a desire for change and an enthusiasm for social and economic alternatives to a market economy in its industrial context. After situating the Maker’s Movement in North America，and after approaching it through theoretical lenses，this paper discusses terroir. As a cultural industry，and in its North American context，terroir follows the principles，the values and the spirit of social and economic entrepreneurship that coincides with the Maker’s Movement. Following this，the paper explains the notion of terroir and establishes its links with Making，and in turn，explains the main contours and principles of terroir as a cultural industry in North America.
