Meet the Makers

We're hosting some of the coolest local makers in our barn and on our lawn, Saturday, October 15th from 11am - 4pm, for our first annual Makers Mart! The St. John Family Band will be delighting us with live music, while the makers exhibits will be open from 11 - 4pm. 

Get to know some of these fab, creative peeps then come meet them live and in person, in charming downtown Roanoke. Supporting small, local artisans is one of the things we love to do most. Join us, won't you?
