A Marketplace for Quality Arts, Crafts & Specialty Products
Taproot Artisans opened in Nov. 2009. It is housed in the old Grose Store
Building which was built in 1895. Requiring a lot of TLC to reclaim it from many
"improvements" made over the years, the old general store is now a charming
location for this new business.
The focus of Taproot Artisans is to provide a
marketplace for the many crafts
and excellent art produced in the area. Currently,
over 25 artisans are
represented. Products include paintings,
metalwork, woodwork, needlework,
etc. All are of good quality and many with very
unique aspects. Plants and
outdoor stuff, too! Antiques fill a room that
features the original, unpainted
wall boards complete with pencil written notes from
years past.
For the Spring planting season, bedding plants will
be available. Summer will
bring a produce market with local produce and
canned goods. Baked goods
include bread and fried apple pies. Take home a
package of Gina's Country
Sausage. (It's frozen in convenient 2 pound
packages.)
Crafts, fried apple pies, country sausage, bread, soap,
produce, plants, antiques.
