Salvaterra Pottery & Woodworks

Family pottery studio seven miles from Asheville. Rob and Beth Mangum come from a long line of potters — their wood-fired stoneware and dinnerware carries the warmth of the Blue Ridge into every kitchen.

Japanese-inspired ceramics handmade in Asheville. Wood-fired and salt-glazed vessels that bridge Eastern tradition and Appalachian craft. Each piece carries the marks of the kiln — no two firings are alike.

Technical alpaca fiber apparel from the Blue Ridge Mountains. Their patented AlpaLite blend is warmer than merino, naturally odor-resistant, and sustainably sourced from small farms.

Water-ready footwear and PFDs designed in Asheville. Built for kayakers, paddlers, and river people.

Small-batch, hand-poured nature-inspired candles and home goods from Brevard. Hannah Councill started the studio after learning the craft at 3oak Handcrafted.

Brevard's original craft brewery, making small-batch ales and lagers since 2012. Taproom on West Main Street steps from the Pisgah National Forest trailheads. Their Transylvania County lineup is brewed with mountain water from the headwaters of the French Broad.
