Attagirl Boutique started as a hobby, which turned into a small business, due to the positive feedback from costumers. Ivette started making just hairbows and dog bandanas. She originally started making dog bandanas because her girl dog Maddie needed something cute to wear, and she is not a fan of dog clothes. She got a lot of compliments on the bandanas and started adding dog items to my collection. Some of her popular items are dog bandanas and sailor bows for dogs. Ivette is a resident of Watauga County a have been for over 32 years and is passionate about dogs. She is always looking for new ideas and to create products for dogs and their owners.

Persephone's Garden (fka Opossum Bottom) is a small urban farm nestled against the mountains in Johnson City TN. Way back in the 70s, Chris started gardening with his great aunt. While helping her in her garden, she taught him how to grow things without the assistance of synthetic products, which now, fast forward 40 years, is a more familiar term, organic. While many of the methods have changed since then, the base fundamentals of growing sustainably, improving the land on which you grow, and providing synthetic free food are still the same. Opossum Bottom strives to incorporate those fundamentals in their practices so that their produce is free of all synthetic products. No pesticides, no fungicides, no herbicides, nothing, just good practices, natural fertilizers, rainwater, and a love of growing.

Gala Crafts creates stained glass pieces. Their goal with stained glass is to capture all the wild, varied, spectacular colors and textures of nature in unique art, glass pieces. They love adding copper wire, antique glass plates, and even occasional spoons to their pieces to accentuate the natural movement of the glass. Whenever possible, they incorporate found and recycled glass, wire and bevels into their pieces. Gala Crafts has been working in the medium for over 20 years and has learned (sometimes the hard way) to love the music of breaking glass.

Laughing Springs Farm is located on the edge of Boone on 17 acres of land that they are grateful to begin stewarding. Established in early 2022, they are building their farm slowly as they come to better know the land with each season. They are still evolving their farm focus, but for now, they will be growing and sharing fresh diversified vegetables, milled corn products (grits, cornmeal) and medicinal herbal products.
Although new to the Boone area, they have been organic farmers for the past 25 years in a variety of places - as owners, managers, breeders, seed producers, educators - they have tried a bit of everything - and the learning never stops. They are looking forward to sharing their harvest with you! Learn more: www.laughingspringsfarm.com Instagram: @laughingspringsfarm |
