Our local businesses, those who own them, and their employees are the cornerstone of WNC. Supporting and uplifting them is what we are all about.

Business spotlights

Yonder
Yonder Community Market grew out of our thriving locally sourced, farm-to-table cafe, Yonder. We are curators of high quality, REAL foods that are sourced as locally as possible. We have a huge selection of local + regional foods and handmade goods. All products have been thoughtfully selected with a focus on quality and nourishment.
Cullowheegee Farms
We enjoy crafting our handmade soaps, organic gardening, foraging, cooking and exploring this beautiful place we call home. We knew we wanted to create something of our own and start a business based around our passion of nature and sustainability. our mission is to provide the highest quality handmade products based on ingredients the earth provides using minimal and recycled packaging, palm oil free recipes, and plastic-free alternatives.
