Our Story

Rooted in the
Blue Ridge

Makers' & Growers' Market was born from a simple conviction: that the best things come from people who take pride in what they make — and from soil that hasn't been rushed.

Nestled on Bridge Street in the heart of Hot Springs, we serve as a gathering place where local artisans, farmers, and growers can share their craft with a community that values intention over convenience.

Every product you find here has been chosen not just for what it is, but for the hands that made it and the story it carries. This is retail with a pulse.

What We Offer

From the earth,
by hand

Fresh Produce

Seasonal fruits and vegetables grown by local farmers in the surrounding valleys and hills of the Blue Ridge.

Handcrafted Goods

Pottery, textiles, candles, and artisan creations made by local makers who pour their craft into every piece.

Pantry Staples

Small-batch preserves, honey from local hives, artisan breads, and other shelf-stable treasures from area producers.

Community Space

More than a shop — a place for workshops, gatherings, and connections that strengthen our local fabric.

Gifts & Keepsakes

Thoughtfully curated gifts that carry the spirit of the mountains — perfect for visitors and locals alike.

Soil & Garden

Seeds, soil amendments, and gardening supplies from those who know the land — because growing starts from the ground up.

Our Philosophy

When you buy
local, you're
investing in
someone's story

At Makers' & Growers', we believe every purchase is a vote for the kind of community you want to live in. When you choose a locally made candle or a jar of honey from a nearby apiary, you're not just acquiring an object — you're supporting a person, a family, a tradition.

Our market is a living conversation between those who make and those who care. We hold space for slow craft, seasonal rhythms, and the kind of commerce that leaves both sides better than it found them.
